...glided into overcast San Diego Bay a bit ahead of schedule after a five-day sail up from Mexico, and the regiment of photographers onshore nudged into position. Cannons roared from the escort frigate Diomede, and a U.S. battery returned the 21-gun salute. After Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia steered toward the freshly painted yellow moorings of the Broadway Pier, her Royal Marine band played, then a U.S. Navy band. Suddenly the craning crowd of 6,000 broke into unbuttoned cheers, while several hundred reporters looked on. There were even scattered choruses of The White Cliffs of Dover...
When the suit was filed, with Queen Elizabeth's approval, she was 6,000 miles away aboard the royal yacht Britannia, leaving La Paz, Mexico, for San Diego, the next stop on her month-long visit to North America. The target of the Sun's story, Prince Andrew, was also at sea, after a weekend recreational visit to Florida, with the Royal Navy ship on which he serves, H.M.S. Invincible. Andrew was pursued by a battalion of U.S. and foreign reporters and photographers, frenziedly but fruitlessly seeking signs of a rendezvous between the Prince and soft-porn Actress...
...case, the lady was proving royally elusive. Photographer Steve Wood, who had spotted Koo and Randy Andy, as the press took to calling the Prince, on their flight to Mustique last fall, never got a shot of the pair.

Some two dozen other journalists in expensively chartered watercraft also flopped...
...Queen will cruise from La Paz to San Diego aboard her yacht. H.M.Y. Britannia is nothing less than a floating palace. At 412 ft. long, it is half the length of the QE2. It has the chintz-covered drawing room of a grand country house, a swimming pool, ballroom, chapel, theater and elegantly appointed bedroom suites-the Queen's with rosebud curtains, the Prince's in a more austere navy style. This ship is not for the frugal: it burns a ton of oil every seven miles. The ship's 26 officers and 254 crewmen all give...
...more cause for concern now. Harper awarded her only $2,000 a month for two years, a $7,000 interest in the Pulitzer yacht, a black Porsche, $60,000 worth of jewelry and $102,000 to pay her lawyer, who was asking $300,000. Pulitzer can keep his fortune, placed by the judge at $12.5 million, and take custody of the twins. After hearing the ruling, Roxanne took to her bed in tears...
