- The two royals were pregnant, but what a difference! In one
- case, there was a public row over a less-than-suitable
- boyfriend, an embarrassing lack of wedding plans, and parents,
- or so their daughter has claimed, insisting on an abortion if
- she doesn't marry. Not so, say Daddy and Mummy, Sir Angus Ogilvy
- and Princess Alexandra, a first cousin to Queen Elizabeth. A
- tearful Marina Ogilvy, 23, went on TV last week, complaining
- that she and her beau, freelance photographer Paul Mowatt, had
- been "treated unfairly." As other royals have learned, however,
- marriage is no guarantee of smooth going. Off on a Swiss skiing
- holiday last week, the Duchess of York celebrated her 30th
- birthday and fourth month of pregnancy. But when she
- good-naturedly remarked that it was "good to see snow again,"
- her spouse Prince Andrew churlishly snapped, "Shut up!" Fergie
- took to wearing a sweater that proudly proclaimed her expanding
- waistline. How's that for lese majeste?
