Royal couple honored at Florida society ball
United Press International
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Prince Charles and Princess Diana arrived if posh Palm Beach yesterday for polo and socializing at a $25,000-aplate royal ball that was tainted by revelations the hostess once posed nude for a British magazine.
Charles and Diana landed at West Palm Beach International Airport at 12:30 p.m. EST aboard a Royal Air Force VC 10 and were greeted by Gov. Bob Graham and other dignitaries.
A black Rolls-Royce whisked the royal couple to the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, where they were to attend a private reception and rest before the princess watched her 36-year-old husband play a friendly game of polo.
The climax of the Palm Beach visit was a black-tie charity ball at the Breakers hotel with a $2,500 a plate, seven-course dinner fit for a king. The couple will leave for London Wednesday morning.
About 150 well-wisherwaved Union Jacks and American flags and chicked cameras as Charles and Diana descended from the plane to the sound of bagpipes and the outstretched hands of schoolchildren.
The 24-year-old princess, wearing a pinstripe skirt and jacket, accepted bouquets of flowers from girls while
the prince stood beside her, shaking hands.
In 1880, the last time Charles played polo in Palm Beach, he was hospitalized for heat exhaustion.
This visit is marred by reports that Palm Beachers were snubbing the ball and by revelations that the ball's hostess, Patricia Kluge, posed nude for a fleshy British magazine in the 1970s.
The British press exposed the tainted background of the wife of billionaire John Kluge. She resigned as national co-chairwoman of the ball and reported she would be traveling abroad with her husband during the royal visit.
The crowning blow came when the Palm Beach chairwoman of the ball, Mary Sanford, decided days before the ball she would have nothing to do with it and called the Kluge incident "hideous."
Even the prince seemed aware that the visit had ruffled a few feathers. He asked West Palm Beach Mayor Carol Roberts at the airport if she was attending the ball.
"I said yes, and he said, 'Aren't you brave to come.'" Roberts said.
Although many of the Palm Beach old guard either boycotted or were not invited to the ball, organizers still proclaimed it a smashing success.
They said they had raised $4 million for the United World Colleges double the goal.

Students try school boycott in Cape Town
Mon.-Fri. 10-5:30; Sat. 10-3
United Press International
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Police guarded schools yesterday in Cape Town where, for the first time, radical students attempted to enforce a school boycott with a grusome form of murder known as the necklace.
In Johannesburg, a government minister warned business leaders against pressuring the white-minority government to step up the pace of reforms of apartheid policies of racial separation.
In a report yesterday on overnight violence, police said two black women were fatally shot and 25 people were arrested in black townships where crowds torched houses and cars.
A spokesman said police fired into a crowd hurling firebombs at a squad car in a township outside Upington in the Northern Cape, killing a woman and wounding two men and a woman.
In Mamelodi township near Pretoria, a crowd of blacks attacked the home of a black policeman, who fired his service revolver and killed a woman.
Police said a 22-year-old pupil of the black Fezeka High School in Cape Town's Guguleta township narrowly escaped death or serious injury at the hands of radical students seeking to enforce a school boycott to protest apartheid.
The youth, who had refused to join the boycott, was taken from his home to the grounds of a nearby school. A gasoline-soaked car fire was placed around his neck, but he managed to kick one of his attackers and flee seconds before it was set on fire.
The attempt was only the second known use of the neckpiece of burning tires in Cape Town since political violence erupted there about three months ago.
