Denmark's King Frederik gave her a robust goodbye buss at the airport, and off flew Daisy on the first leg of her seven-week Latin American good-will tour. Stopping for a day in Manhattan, the lass submitted to a press conference at the Danish Consulate, where reporters started asking whom she's been dating lately. "That's a bit of an odd question," she sniffed. There were other nosy queries, but at last they were done and the searing TV lights went off.

At the royal announcement, Greek and Danish flags sprouted side by side on Copenhagen's public buildings; crowds cheered lustily as the betrothed appeared on the balcony of Amalienborg Castle. Even publicity-hating King Frederik IX relented and let the couple pose for a group of 42 photographers. "Take it easy," he told the pair as they began to fidget before the popping flashbulbs. "You've got plenty of time, so just relax." No date has been set for the wedding, but it probably...
