The twentieth century fairy-tale come true, captured for all America in prime time, maybe on cable someday. And who will star as Diana, the shy kindergarten teacher-turned-princess and proud mother? None other than Catherine Oxenburg...
...upper classes. Related to both Charles and Prince Philip, she calls Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia "Mom" and is a cousin of Queen Sofia of Spain. The late Princess Marina of Greece, also known as the Dutchess of Kent, was a great aunt. Hair trimmed and parted to the side Diana-style, Catherine hauntingly resembles the real-life queen...
