LONDON, England -- Official photographs celebrating the wedding of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have been released.
The newlyweds, who are currently on honeymoon in Scotland, looked relaxed and happy as they posed for the pictures in the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle following Saturday's ceremony and blessing.
Taken by official wedding photographer Hugo Burnand, the couple were joined in one picture by Princes William and Harry and the Duchess' children Tom and Laura Parker Bowles.
Another showed the couple flanked by Harry, William, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on one side, and Tom, Laura and the Duchess' father, Major Bruce Shand, on the other.
The Duchess wore her second outfit of the day -- a porcelain blue silk dress with a hand-painted design and gold embroidery -- alongside her Swarovski-tipped head-dress and pale grey silk court shoes.
TV channel ITV1 also announced on Monday it would be broadcasting a two-hour drama about Charles and Camilla's early relationship, including how they met at a 1970 polo match.
Production on the film, "Whatever Love Means," starts in Ireland in May and will explore the early years of Charles and Camilla's "passionate relationship," a spokeswoman for Granada told the UK Press Association.
Charles and Camilla were expected to spend Monday, the second day of their honeymoon, enjoying some quiet time at Birkhall on the Balmoral Estate.
On Sunday, they attended a service at Crathie Church, where they were greeted with a round of applause by onlookers who had braved cold winds to greet them.
Camilla, wearing a matching fuchsia hat and coat, entered the church alongside the prince who was wearing traditional Highland dress.
The Daily Mirror newspaper said Camilla told its reporter: "At one stage I didn't think we were going to make it. It was a wonderful day."
Prince Charles declared: "She's very special."
After the service, the couple hosted a reception for staff at Birkhall, where they are spending the rest of their honeymoon.
The couple's wedding plans were dogged by hitches. Some constitutional experts even questioned the legality of the marriage.
Their wedding venue was switched following a mix up over marriage licenses and then had to be rescheduled from Friday to avoid a clash with the funeral of Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.
Charles and Camilla, 57, have known each other for decades and have courted over the years. He met Camilla Shand at a polo match in 1970. A year later, Charles joined the Royal Navy, and drifted apart from his girlfriend.
In 1973, she married a longstanding admirer, army officer Andrew Parker Bowles. While she and Charles remained friends, Charles's wedding to Diana seemed to put an end to their romance.
But things had not been rosy between Charles and Diana, and they separated in 1992.
The same year, recordings of some amorous discussions between Charles and a woman widely assumed to be Parker Bowles came to light.
In a 1995 interview, Diana told the BBC that "there were three of us in this marriage" and conceded her own infidelity. The royal couple divorced in 1996. Parker-Bowles and her husband divorced in 1995.
Diana died in a 1997 auto accident in Paris in an accident that shocked the world and sparked widespread grief.
It was 1999 before Charles made a public appearance with Parker Bowles as his companion.
