...innocents abroad are U.S. tourists by any means. This week, heading the royal road show out of London, Prince Charles and Princess Anne will wing into Washington direct from a two-week tour of Canada for their first U.S. visit. The object, as the White House and Buckingham Palace rather cloyingly put it, is to bring the young people of the two nations together. As the official guests of Tricia Nixon and David and Julie Eisenhower, the royal pair will be treated to a barbecue and swimming at Camp David, a baseball game at Washington's Robert F. Kennedy...
...much on display as the 21-year-old future King of England will be his kid sister, Princess Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise, 19, fourth in line for the British throne and, it is said, something of a swinger. Plump and dowdy as a teenager, Anne, according to Women's Wear Daily, the supreme authority for all such judgments, has succeeded at "slimming down and picking up more graceful airs." Moreover, the best is yet to be, says W.W.D.: "She shows signs of a beauty that will probably come with maturity...
Superdeb.

No great shakes academically, Anne failed to qualify for a university this fall, but no one seemed to care, least of all the princess. "When Anne says she is intellectually lazy," said her former housemistress at Benenden, "I can't refute it." So far the young princess has been content to ride, sail, party, ski and tend to the ribbon-cutting chores that are the appointed lot of royalty. Though Prince Philip reportedly told...
Where do you go in film making after you have made a home movie co-starring Peter Sellers and Princess Margaret? The film maker in question, Margaret's husband, Lord Snowdon, has found an answer: into offbeat, unblinking television documentaries. His first, dealing with old age and titled Don't Count the Candles, was shown in 21 countries and earned six awards (including two Emmys after its 1968 appearance on CBS). His second, which is called Love of a Kind and concerns Britons' infatuation with pets, can-and should-be seen on NBC's First Tuesday...
