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. Mom notwithstanding, Caroline is a natural ornament of any smart set. She is charming, mercurial and regal, a Grimm heroine who has all of Europe wondering what she will do next, and hoping against hope that she will only settle for Prince Charles. (She will not, because the Prince of Wales cannot marry a Roman Catholic.) Just now, Caroline is studying at Paris' elite Institut d'Etudes Politiques, and she is strictly...
...Dada. While his current experiment is called A Letter to Queen Victoria, it has nothing to do with Queen Victoria. She does appear briefly in the person of Wilson's 88-year-old grandmother, Alma Hamilton, who is adorned in a white gown, black sunglasses and a regal red sash. Unlike The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (TIME, Dec. 31, 1973), which lasted twelve hours and centered on painterly images evolving in glacially slow motion and almost total silence, Queen Victoria consists mainly of verbal anarchy.

But Christina will surely take over the family's regal penthouse on Avenue Foch in Paris and the 500-acre Skorpiós; the day after the funeral, she took command of the 325-ft. yacht that bears her name by informing the captain and crew that their jobs were all secure...
...forced to abdicate in 1931. Don Jamie renounced his claim to the Spanish throne in 1934, but began having second thoughts in the '50s as aging Caudillo Francisco Franco vacillated between Borbón claimants who he hoped would restore the monarchy. Don Jaime was bested in the regal jockeying by his handsome nephew Juan Carlos de Borbón y Borb...
...PHILADELPHIA, Melvoin's specialty is the rapid-fire repartee. Rubin and O'Donnell are a brilliant duo when let loose. And in a word-spitting duel like the Questions Game (where each must retort with a question), the verbal fireworks are dazzling. Chris Minkowski, a properly regal Claudius, looks like he's still savoring his triumph as last fall's production of Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. The mimed deaths of the Tragedians, choreography by David Fechtor, resemble the last writhing gasps of fish drowning in air, and coordinate well with the heavy rope-netting...
