What else would they say ?
The Charles and Diana marriage was indeed an an arranged one, with QEQM plotting with Diana's grand-mother, with the Queen's blessing after BP's spin doctors have cleared Diana.
Charles just went along with "the plate he was served", certainly hoping she would be a silly kid that would not mess with his affair with Camilla.
He did not choose, he accepted what others chose for him.
Just remember his answer when he was asked if he was in love with Diana.
