Nothing but the Queen Mother's own Khemarin Palace would do to house the De Gaulles, he decided, and set to work redecorating it. Furniture was imported from France and upholstered in shimmering Cambodian silk. So that "everything would be perfect," boasted the Prince, he had even replanted the gardens and flown in a maitre d'hótel and a chambermaid from Paris' Hotel Crillon...

At first, not all members were quite prepared for change.
