Yes. There is absolutely no restriction on marriage for both female or male priests in the Anglican Church. My wife has been an Anglican priest since 2001 and I am due to be ordained a priest in 2012.

Within the Anglican Church even homosexual priests (both male and female) are allowed to be in a civil partnership. However, the diocesan bishop sponsoring them for ordination must be satisfied that the partnership is for non-sexual reasons (eg so that a surviving partner inherits as next of kin on the death of the other partner) and that the relationship between them, though loving, is non-sexual.

Do all the royal family marry in the Church of England?

Not all members of the British royal family are required to marry in the Church of England, but those who are in direct line to the throne must do so due to the Act of Settlement 1701 and the Royal Marriages Act 1772. Most royal weddings traditionally take place in Anglican ceremonies, reflecting the family's historical ties to the Church. However, there have been exceptions, such as when members marry outside the Church or in non-Anglican ceremonies.
