- <p> Arms raised in victory, a barefoot Princess Diana looked
- like a modern daughter of the goddess whose name she bears. But
- alas, a fleet commoner had crossed the finish line before her,
- and the princess settled for a mere mortal's second place.
- Prince William's school held its annual family sports day last
- week, and Diana, who sprinted first in the 44-yd. Mum's dash
- last year, had hoped to repeat. Still, she outshone the heir to
- the throne. Fathers had to race with a plastic bag fastened
- around one foot, a handicap that hobbled Prince Charles. He lost
- valuable time getting his bag tied and ran far back in the pack.
