LONDON - Britain's Prince Charles is cutting short his skiing holiday in the Swiss Alps to attend a memorial service for Pope John Paul II in London later Monday, his official residence said.
The heir to the British throne would be attending vespers at Westminster Cathedral together with his fiance Camilla Parker Bowles, said a spokesman at Clarence House in London.
Earlier Monday, Clarence House declined to rule out any change to plans for Charles and Parker Bowles to marry this Friday in Windsor, west of London, after it was announced that the pontiff's funeral would be on the same day.
