Times change. In 1936 divorcees were not allowed to remarry in churches, nowadays it is up to the local priest. As Head of the Church of England the Queen thought it best that Charles had a civil marriage but had it blessed in Church. There is also the fact that Charles already has two sons by his first marriage whereas Wallis Simpson would have been Edward VIII's first wife. Camilla's first husband Andrew Parker-Bowles was a Catholic and so are her two children. I believe her first marriage was in a Catholic Church, however, Camilla never converted to Catholicism. Even if she had it would have been no problem. Prince Philip converted from Greek Orthodox to marry the then Princess Elizabeth and Autumn Phillips (nee Kelly) converted from Roman Catholic to Church of England before marrying Peter Phillips so he didn't lose his place in the Line of Succession (although his chances of him or his descendants succeeding are exceedingly slim).

I'm almost 90% sure the Catholic Church will not recognize your fiance's marriage in the first place so the best thing you can do is talk to the priest where you want your marriage held.

You'll have to talk to him anyway because they'll make you take pre-marital classes for 6 months before the wedding.

You cannot get married by the Catholic Church unless your fiancee first gets an annulment of her first marriage.

The Catholic Church considers marriage to be a sacred, lifel long covenant. A person who has left one marriage cannot get married a second time unless the first marriage was declared to be invalid.

Since non-Catholic churches allow divorced persons to remarry, what does this say about their opinion of the sacredness of marriage?

you can get married in a register office or anywhere licenced to perform weddings but if looking for a church - forget the catholic one! A nice church of england vicar may perform the ceremony for you if you are lucky - I wasn't though! He was only prepared to give us a blessing. Depends which parish you go to!!
