Charles gallantly affirmed his fondness for barbecues, while Diana proudly announced that William boasts six teeth and, of course, a fondness for koala bears. Afterward they were whisked off to clamber up the sacred aboriginal monolith of Ayers Rock. For. a few moments, the couple savored the sunset together.

When Lord Erroll was found shot through the head at the age of 39, in 1941, police arrested one of the cuckolded husbands, Sir John Henry ("Jock") Delves Broughton, 57. The motive seemed compelling.

But while they pursue their six-week, 45,000-mile itinerary, William will be billeted at Woomargama, a rented six-bedroom estate set on 4,000 acres in the Australian province of New South Wales...
