Can someone from England, or educated in British Monarchy Protocol explain something to me....?

Queen Elizabeths' Uncle, Edward VIII {y'know, the guy who abdicated, giving his Brother the British Throne, changing Lineage entirely, which allowed Elizabeth to later be Queen}, was given a few ultimatums if he chose to stay with a twice divorced American {Wallis Simpson}.As King, he couldn't be with a divorce'e period, since he is the Head of the Church of England and must be living embodiment of its teachings {Let's not get into Henry VIII, yet.}, his own PM threatened to Resign, he was forced to Resign or face a political Race and damage the Monarchy, right?

Ok....

Why is Charles still heir Apparent?...
I'm aware his marriage was civil, and Diana is Dead, but Camilla's ex-husband is still alive, no?
The Queen and Prince Consort didn't attend their civil wedding, given Elizabeth's status {supreme spiritual leader in the church of England...}....
On top of that, from what I've read{I get bored easily in the libraries and dialysis} Charles isn't exactly 100% into Church of england. His Father, prince Philip renounced his Greek titles, but had a Greek Orthodox influence on Charles....
Doesn't that worry people over there...?

Why is Charles allowed this divorced wedding + Chance @ Throne{rather than renounce and give it to William}....But Edward was pretty much cornered and in a way Exiled?....
I know they won't have kiddies, but still...Edward and Wallis didn't either.

I thought of this while watching "Kings Speech"{figures, eh?}

things that make ya go , hmm, I suppose.....
