At the climactic moment, Bokassa, 56, crowned himself and placed a smaller coronet on the head of the youngest of his three wives, 28-year-old Empress Catherine. (Rumor has it that the Emperor also keeps a blonde Rumanian mistress on the side.) Two-year-old Crown Prince Jean-Bedel Bokassa, dressed in a white naval uniform, yawned occasionally during the ceremony and next day fell fast asleep...
