In Monaco's pink-walled palace, Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite, 8 lbs. 3 oz., uttered her first wail, set off a chain reaction including a radio broadcast by her nervous father, Prince Rainier III, 33, a 21-gun salute from two ancient cannon, harbor whistles, bonfires, street dancing and a torrent of free champagne.
