No idea.   I doubt Camilla signed  where it said "mother of the groom."  That is the only potential matter of interest.

Royal Wedding certificates are always secret...

^  Thank you. 

Why do you think Prince Charles released his most recent one?

[Windsor]

I think it being a civil marriage, it would be fitting for such a document to be available.

If you read to the end of the article - it does state that because it's a civil marriage, the PoW and Camilla's certificate is available to view.

Yes, but WHY

[cinrit]

^^ Good question, but I believe their wills are kept secret, too.

If all the certificate's are kept secret then this isn't a big deal. As to why they are kept secret, I honestly don't care. People need some privacy in their lives. They have to parade their newborns out in front of the public so why not grasp onto any privacy you can.

[Jenee]

Yes, true - however everyone's marriage certificates are public record. I just think that it is an odd thing to keep private/secret.

Charles and Diana as well as Mark and Anne and Andrew and Sarah released photographs of the Church Register where they also signed.
My guess is they are worried the signature of Camilla would start an outcry of "Camilla is trying to take Diana's place as William's mother" in the tabs and elsewhere.  I don't think Camilla should have signed under the circumstances.

^^ But one has to sign one's marriage certificate or it's not valid.
