WHAT COULD THE PRINCE HAVE SAID? asked the tabloid Mirror in a seven-column layout. The answer: Nothing. "His conversation with her had ended BEFORE she looked bashful!" trumpeted the Mirror. The Mirror tracked down the photographer who took the one-in-ten-thousand picture, and he confirmed the Mirror's beat. Not only was the Prince not talking to the nurse when the picture was taken...
