When the Sun and the Star ran the pictures of the royal tummy naked and protruding, the expected protests lit up the switchboards, and the standard apologies were printed. The papers said jointly that they had run the photos out of "deep affection" for Diana. The Sun ran the photos a second time, with the apology, so that everyone would know what was being discussed...
...attends many parties that royals do, and when he is leaving he sees Whitaker in the bushes. He insists that he is not a royal-watcher but a "social policeman." About the time that Whitaker diagnosed anorexia, however, Dempster indulged himself with a lofty and fairly encyclopedic denunciation of Diana's faults. It was he who said that she was spoiled, fiendish and a monster, that she was spending too much money on clothes shaming the nation's upper classes by having temper tantrums that drove staff to resign, and making Charles "desperately unhappy...

...flew to Switzerland, where Koo was rumored to be skiing. Then it was back to London, and off on a fast rumble to Sandringham again, in the sort of automotive projectile that is essential for royal-chasing, a Golf GTI that Carraro says will go more than 100 m.p.h. Diana was supposed to be there taking riding lessons (family tradition suggests that a Windsor Queen should be able to ride, but the Princess, who fell from a horse when she was small, has no love for the sport). Carraro's information was accurate. After dodging hordes of amateur cameramen...
