Wally Windsor was never a queen, but she managed a faint Marie Antoinettish echo while visiting Britain last week. Asked about her wardrobe by a reporter who had just seen three army trucks and two jeeps dump about two tons of baggage, the duchess said, "We hardly brought anything. Things are fantastic in Paris now. No one will be able to buy clothes there any more if they keep putting the prices up." As for entertaining, said she: "I am here in a very unofficial capacity."
