Prince Charles has announced the postponement of his wedding..
to the next day, in order to be able to represent England at the funeral. Very decent of him, IMO.

2. I believe they were having a civil wedding..
with a blessing later by the A of C. (That was the whole controversy over whether the Queen would go to the wedding; she then decided to just attend the blessing.) So, I think he could have gone ahead with the wedding itself, and had the blessing a few days later. He also cut short a vacation to return to attend a memorial mass in England, so I think he was doing this out of respect.

4. No and not anytime soon...
...since the monarch is, among other things, titular head of the Church of England. (Other Anglican churches, like the American Episcopal Church, are not under the control of the English monarch.)

Interestingly enough, Charles has spent quite a bit of time investigating the Orthodox Church and has visited the famous monastery at Mt. Athos a number of times. But I don't see that conversion happening, either.

5. Certainly, his (re)marriage situation...
...would pretty much preclude any RCC conversion, and make an Orthodox one probably too difficult to pursue.

6. I remember reading somewhere that Camillia's ex-husband
Andrew Parker-Bowles was Catholic.
