- <p> Going off to a new school can be a tearful occasion. For
- mothers especially. The Prince and Princess of Wales were on
- hand last week to help their elder son Prince William, 8,
- settle in at a Berkshire prep school, 36 miles from London, and
- when it came time to say goodbye, Diana was discreetly weepy.
- William kept a stiff upper lip as he strode manfully away with
- a headmaster. The student prince shares a dormitory with five
- other first-year boys, traditionally called "squits." In their
- second year William and his classmates will be upgraded to
- "squirts," and in their third they'll be known as "jolly good
- fellows."
