...first anniversary of her wedding to Prince Charles, the first official photographs were released of five-week-old Prince William of Wales. They were indeed charming. Snuggled twixt the Princess, 21, and the Prince, 33, bright-eyed William Arthur Philip Louis appeared somewhat perplexed by his photo debut. But "Sweet William," as the London press has dubbed him, will probably get used to such attention. This week on another important family occasion, the 82nd birthday of his great-grandmum, the Queen Mother, the little Prince will have his christening at Buckingham Palace. But unlike many an event in his busy...

I count the minutes till the weekly shipment of Teuscher champagne truffles arrives from Switzerland. I hide Tobler Extra-Bitter sweet around the house.

If he insisted now he could have her, he was sure, have a life with her in which the sweetness would never end. Images from their past love tumbled through his mind. Oakland Beach ... Amalfi ...
