...requires a producer (the Lord Chamberlain) and a director (Lieut. Colonel John F.D. Johnston, who recently received a knighthood for his organizational skills). It also, of course, has a supporting cast of thousands. Along with the home-grown aristocrats, there are all the invited guests: political (Nancy Reagan); monarchical (Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, the King and Queen of Sweden, the Duke and Duchess of Liechtenstein); social (Sabrina Guinness, Sir Hugh Casson); and sentimental (Flo Moore, who kept Charles' Cambridge rooms in order; Henry and Cora Sands, who provided Charles with some homemade bread during holidays in Eleuthera; Patrick...
...perfect specimen. Lullingstone provided the silk for Lady Diana's wedding dress. Nestled in the rolling hills of Dorset, hard by Gooden's mansion, it is the only silk farm in England. Its worms, which dine on mulberry leaves, have provided silk for the wedding dress of Queen Elizabeth and for the cloak Charles wore when he was invested as Prince of Wales. Started by Lady Hart Dyke in the 1930s with encouragement from Queen Mary, Lullingstone almost went under when its founder died in 1975. It was then that Gooden, who had been doing rather well with...
...from the antics of John McEnroe on Centre Court.

Her outright sensual allure has smartened up her fiance considerably...

Movie stars have become princesses before. Never, however, has a Princess looked so much like a movie star; certainly no Queen-to-be has ever done so much for a pair of blue jeans. Lady Diana's seemingly paradoxical quality of patrician funkiness has caught the spirit of a generation that fancies itself a little more romantic than those of the '70s and '60s and acts, at least...
...bowl christened 'The Crusaders'! From the village of Doughton, bless 'em all, a sheet-iron weather vane for Highgrove! From the far-off land of Tonga, a bedspread, presented by-I want to get this name right-King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV and his wife, Queen Mata'aho, and hand-knitted by the Queen herself; let's have a round of applause for them both! From the Sedgemoor district council in Somerset - how about this? - a ton of peat! A nickel-silvered - oh, this is cute - a nickel-silvered mousetrap in a diamante-jeweled...
