The New York Times has a story on the plans of Britain's Prince Charles
to marry. The reports quotes a statement by the queen in which she
says: "The Duke of Edinburgh and I are very happy that the Prince of
Wales and Mrs. Parker Bowles are to marry."
Has "Mrs." lost its association with marriage completely? Is there any
alternative way of saying this? Is "Ms." objectionably unBritish?
Just curious, honest.
Here is the New York Times story:
