...sooner had Princess Elizabeth of Toro, 34, accepted the post of Ugandan Ambassador to Egypt last month than General Idi ("Big Daddy") Amin Dada changed his mind. Deciding that he could not part with Elizabeth or her talents, he appointed her instead Uganda's Minister of Foreign Affairs. Ugandan observers consider the promotion a practical rather than romantic measure. Not only does Big Daddy, a Moslem, already have four wives, but he is sadly short of Cabinet talent among his cronies, mostly former NCOS and privates. Before Elizabeth's appointment, he had flayed the Foreign Affairs Ministry...
...Longworth (who died in 1931), personally acquainted with every President since Benjamin Harrison, indomitable doyenne on the Washington social circuit for decades.

Marking her 90th birthday this week, "Princess Alice," an affectionate sobriquet from her White House years, continues to survey the capital scene from her rambling mansion on Washington's Embassy Row.

Besides Connery, and a fine assortment of character actors, there are the excellent Charlotte Rampling as a sort of stern, fairy-princess scientist; and Sara Kestelman, of the Royal Shakespeare Company, making a welcome debut as a rival of Rampling...
Emitting a couple of uninhibited shrieks, Mrs. Mark Phillips clung to the toboggan her husband was expertly maneuvering down the fast hill. Having arrived safely at the bottom, Princess Anne regained her composure as she and Mark mingled with the guests at a winter-games party thrown in their honor by Canadian Governor General Jules Leger at Ottawa's Governmenl House. Obviously enjoying their second official visit abroad together, the Phillipses even made a little history. Where Anne dropped the puck at a hockey game in Hull, Quebec, it marked the first royal visit to the French Canadian province...
