Last week as the Prince and Princess were in the midst of their twelve-day trip to Australia, Charles was the center of a political brouhaha at home.

The stressful monotony of his job has forced him to forget those younger, happier days, until his old friend Antonio (Marcello Mastroianni), intrudes on Robert's busy schedule to remind him of old times. Says Antonio to Robert, "Youva become arid, lika desert." Thus begins Antonio's program of re-hydration...
