That means, if everything goes well, that there will be a royal baby a month-starting in February with Princess Alexandra, followed by Queen Elizabeth in early March, Meg in late April and the Duchess of Kent...
Queen Elizabeth is. The Duchess of Kent is. Princess Alexandra is. In Britain these days, it's the royal way to be -pregnant. And Princess Margaret, 33? Meg and Hubby Antony Armstrong-Jones, 33, aren't talking. They're just dancing the evenings away at gala balls and such.

...countess who was born in a 19-room mansion. But now, as a U.S. citizen, she calls herself "Miss" and lives on a New York farm. For 24 years, Alexandra Tolstoy, 79, only living child of Russia's great novelist, has devoted her time to the care of anti-Communist refugees-and at her Tolstoy Foundation Center, near Nyack, is a group of Staroobriadtsi (Old Believers), survivors of a splinter sect of the Russian Orthodox Church whose members fled to Turkey from their homeland nearly 300 years ago. Miss Tolstoy enlisted the U.S. Government's aid in order...
