Mummy Dixon's birthday. She's in deepest Italy. Derby Day. The race was won by the Aga Khan. The Princess of Wales wore polka dots and looked chic. It was also the unveiling of Sarah Ferguson - the future Princess Andrew. Let me say this. The Birthday honours next week coud see the announcement of Andrew's elevation to the dukedom of York. The two previous dukes of York were so created in the birthday honours of 1892 and 1920. Prince Philip was gazetted a duke on the morning of his marriage in November, 1947. However, the Queen took over 6 years to create Charles Prince of Wales. And Anne has yet to be designated Princess Royal despite the title being available since 1965.
