THE Prince of Wales is preparing for life as a divorced man amid renewed controversy about his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.

As a photograph was published showing them spending the weekend together, new surveys of senior Church of England figures indicated disquiet about the prince's conduct. A survey of 100 members of the church's General Synod found that 57 per cent did not think the royal family was upholding church teachings.

Prince Charles legally will be free to marry once his divorce from the Princess of Wales is finalised on Wednesday.

Hollywood star John Travolta yesterday became the latest target of Germany's antiScientology lobby.
