...Well, you remember the famous picture of the see-through dress with a couple of children," says King. "We didn't know how to get rid of the press, so I suggested that if we allowed them to take one photograph, they might go away. She was very insistent that she take some of the children with her. I think she felt safer, as if they were her protection...
...really, really nervous. But she made us feel at ease. I think she was wearing something with a frilly neck, a full skirt, and she was rather plump, quite shy and seemed to look out from under her bangs.

Hers was another American revolution, which said we don't want to shed this crown, we want to reinvent it. She was an entrepreneur, not content to marry the title but apparently determined to live...
...expected her to be as lovely as her pictures, or so tall. Contrary to the storied upbringing of British aristocracy, she fidgeted constantly, pulling at various parts of her white sequined dress as a child might. At a dinner following the opera, she walked, alone, down a huge winding staircase without ever looking at her feet, so we knew she was a princess. But at dinner she ate like your sister, tearing into her meal with a kind of wanton delight, turning aside her lady-in-waiting's insistence that it was time to be leaving with the flat observation...
