Princess' Clothes
London (U.R) Pretty Prin
cess Margaret's plunging neck
lines have made British news
paper headlines.
The Princess has appeared in
her lowest-ever necklines during
her present Caribbean tour.
The British newspapers have
been splashing pictures of her
in low-cut gowns on the West
Indies tour, but discreetly avoid
ing comment.
Saturday the tabloid Women's
Sunday Mirror openly raised the
question of whether the 24-year-old
Princess's necklines have
plunged too low.
Usually newspapers in Britain
do not discuss such subjects in
relation to royalty.
