With a mother's natural interest, Princess Grace of Monaco-Grace Kelly of Philadelphia, that was-stopped by the Marika Besdrasova ballet school one day last week to make a careful personal appraisal of how her two student daughters were doing. As a five-year-old beginner, Princess Stephanie Marie Elizabeth was still struggling with her jetés. But her older sister, Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite, displayed cool and graceful evidence that at 13, she has all the requirements for a professional career.

Now it seems that Princess Anna-Maria Elizabeth, 25, prefers a local innkeeper to her husband, Prince Max Emanuel von Thurn und Taxis, 34. The prince, she said, "couldn't fulfill his marital duties." This was too much for Hohenschwangau's silent majority, who took to the streets with placards to register a vote of confidence in the prince's powers and to offer Maria a choice: love him or leave him. She left...
