Princess Diana faints
NZPA-Reuter Vancouver Princess Diana fainted and hung on to the arm of Prince Charles to prevent herself falling to the floor while touring the California Pavilion of the Expo ’B6 World Fair yesterday, fair officials said. Prince Charles held her until her doctor, Surgeon Commander lan Jenkins, came running up from the party behind them and took over.
He called up two security officials who carried her into a nearby waitingroom. “The Princess fainted very briefly,” said a spokesman, Victor Chapman. "After a short rest she went back to the (Pan-Pacific) hotel, where the Royal couple are staying, to rest” Asked if she was expecting a third child, Mr Chapman said, “The Prin-
cess is not pregnant.” He said Princess Diana had felt warm and fatigued. She was wearing wool on an unexpectedly warm day. California’s Governor, George Deukmejian, who was in the Royal party, said he saw her knees buckle. “She grabbed Prince Charles .by the arm to stop herself falling to the ground,” he said.
