Captain Derickson usually had breakfast with the President and rode with him in his carriage to the War Department or to the White House.

...World gesture toward royalty, Manhattan's Regency Hotel ordered a custom-sewn flag of Monaco. Then arrived Princess Grace, 33, and Prince Rainier, 39, and suddenly everything went All-American.

Their siestas are prolonged because the midday snow is apt to be mushy, because spring snow is harder...
...wingding for 2,000 guests in Windsor Castle's Waterloo Chamber, which is only slightly less spacious than the battlefield itself. Fueled by a lavish buffet, 1,600 bottles of a pleasant, non-vintage champagne and rivers of stronger stuff, the guests twirled and twisted until breakfast. To a man, the roistering royals approved warmly of Alexandra's match. "Thank goodness," whispered one, "she's not marrying one of those awful double-barreled German names...
