A gala dinner in Chamcar Mon Palace on the Mekong River was followed by a performance of the royal ballet. With white frangipani blossoms in her hair, Princess Bopha Devi, Sihanouk's stunningly beautiful daughter and star of the ballet, led ten dancers in a re-enactment of Cambodian legends, and the Prince, enchanted by his guest, bubbled with jeu d'esprit.
