Last week, with plenty of fresh outfits at the ready, Diana, with Prince Charles, 34, and ten-month-old Prince William, proceeded to New Zealand, but not before the princess gave Australia a little something to remember her by. At a royal ball at Melbourne's Hilton hotel, she stopped conversation dead by making her entrance in a shimmery, ice-gray gown cut daringly deep across one shoulder. At Auckland...
