...course, no secret in Britain that George Brown sometimes takes a drink-or that a drink sometimes takes him. On other occasions, he has shown what was considered undue familiarity with members of the royal family (he once even asked Princess Margaret for a kiss). At a farewell party aboard the Queen Mary last month, he frugged with a series of ladies and reportedly nibbled the ear of one. The photographers loved it, and London's tabloids splashed the pictures across their front pages. The photographers were back in force last week looking for more...

...beautiful young queen, suddenly died. All the jolly relatives disappeared. The nice servants left, and the new ones carried guns. Gradually she grew up, puzzled and estranged. The king turned into a distant ogre, the castle into a dungeon, and life into hell. Much later, no longer a princess but still a Little girl at the age of 37, she tried to remember what had happened. She wrote it all down in 35 days as a group of letters. And it was surely the darkest and most poignant princess story ever told. For never before was there a king like...
