...marriage is dead; long live the marriage's signal achievement. Last Friday the announcement came of a final divorce settlement between the Prince and Princess of Wales. Diana gets a generous financial deal and retains several privileges, although not the right to style herself as Her Royal Highness. Charles rids himself of the difficult, crowd-pleasing woman he married in what seems another age. But while Charles and Diana's legal ties are being severed, they are still joined by their children, and whatever their failures as husband and wife, they seem to have made a success of their roles...
...started the revelation wars by tacitly cooperating with Andrew Morton on the book that revealed Charles' return to his old lover, Camilla Parker Bowles. Charles' approved biography, Prince of Wales, written by Jonathan Dimbleby, may make even more painful reading for Wills. In an apparent effort to puncture the Princess's popularity, Dimbleby is at pains to portray her as shallow, willful and dangerously unstable.

In that case the money could someday return to the Windsors. She does get to keep all personal jewelry she has amassed as Princess of Wales. Also unknown is whether she would forfeit any part of the settlement were she to remarry...
LONDON: The Royal saga that engrossed the world and graced the covers of newsmagazines and tabloids has officially come to an end. After 3 1/2 years of separation, Prince Charles and Princess Diana announced Friday that they have agreed to a divorce. The split will be made final on August 28, with the Princess relinquishing her title of Her Royal Highness but keeping the title of Diana, Princess of Wales. As a result, she could be expected to curtsy to the Queen, her husband and her sons. Although no formal announcement of the settlement was made, Diana is expected...
