...robust good health of his mother Queen Elizabeth, chances are that it will be some years before Bonnie Prince Charlie becomes King. But as he approaches his 30th birthday (Nov. 14), this scion of the House of Windsor has clearly come into his own, not so much a monarch in waiting as a mature royal Prince who is a man of his times despite those anachronistic titles.

When he is not at home with his wife, Queen Anne-Marie, in their ten-bedroom London abode, Constantine, 37, is often in Jordan or off traveling around the world with Hussein. The two kings visited Florida's Sea World during a trip to the U.S. last May. While in Amman, where Hussein, 41, is celebrating his 25th year on the throne, they enjoyed one of their favorite royal pastimes: practicing at Hussein's private shooting range...
