...mark the occasion, a stream of dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II and Monaco's Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, will follow Spain's King Juan Carlos and French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing in paying their respects in Washington. Many countries have sent gifts to the U.S., though there is nothing to compare with France's centennial present of the Statue of Liberty. Britain has loaned to the U.S. for a year a copy of the Magna Carta, signed in 1215. (In like spirit, an anonymous U.S. institution helped the British government last week...
...Crown Prince Harald and Princess Sonja will explore Leif Ericson's land in June; earlier the same month, Spain's new King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia will visit President Ford in Washington; so, commemorating 1776 not 1812, will Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

...Serene Highness Prince Rainier III of Monaco (he has 23 other titles) reigns over Monaco's 467 acres with, of course, Princess Grace of Philadelphia and Hollywood.

...Sunday the King presided over an official public state funeral, which was attended by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, Chilean President Augusto Pinochet, Jordan's King Hussein, and Monaco's Prince Rainier. Like the rest of the week's solemn pageantry, the details had been planned well in advance−many of them by Franco himself. After the funeral Mass in Madrid's packed Plaza de Oriente, his coffin was escorted from the palace by the red-bereted Guardia del Generalisimo, marching on each side of the casket, to the Arch of Victory a mile away.
