In one fortnight recently she carried out, with her husband, two major tours, one of the Channel Islands, the other of the Midlands.
This meant, among other things, that she was only able to spend one night in her own home, and only a day and a half with her baby son Prince Charles, during the whole fortnight.

K-K-K-Katie
ONG nights of listening to the chatterings of crickets have led US biologist Dr Cleve Hallenbeck to publish the year's most fascinating, if most fri- volous, research report.
He claims that the moment the thermometer touches 77 degrees the males of a certain type of American tree-cricket auto matlenily begin to chorus "Katle did it, Katle did it." But, when the temperature drops to 74 they change their tune to Katie didn't, Katie didn't."
A further three-degree fall cufs the chant to a curt "Katie did." Then as the night wears on to a still cooler close, the insecti end up on the single admonishing note of "Katie.”,
