...sourish play an ambiguously happy ending. Yet, in his actions, the duke conclusively proves "what these our seemers be," for he has not really been interested in the goodly governance of the state but in his tricksterish manipulation of his subjects, both high and low, according to his own regal whims...
Princess Grace would rather not, thank you very much, think of her daughter Caroline, 18, as a millionette. "She is a very levelheaded girl," says Grace.

Don Jaime was bested in the regal jockeying by his handsome nephew Juan Carlos de Borbón y Borb...
