Hello UNder the Cannon Law of the C of E 1st cousins should not marry in church, so how royalty get around that I don't know. But they can get married in a church other than the C of E, normally. I know people have done it for years, so this reply may not have any validation, just thought you may want the info. Yours Miriam Abbott
