 | Children Embarrassed
 Both Ileana and Nicholas seem. ed embarrassed throughout the in- 1 terviews. often glancing at each other and giggling at the questions asked. The princess made no con- tribution to the conversation and the only time the prince spoke was in response to a direct question. The queen had just acknowledged that she was 51 years old and a re- porter asked Nicholas how old he was.
 "Twenty-three," the youth fe- sponded in a low voice.
 What do you think about Amer ican girls?'
 The prince seemed much embar- rassed.
 T didn't come here for girls" he replied.
 The queen joined in the general laughter and pointing her finger at her son, said: T hope you stick to that"
