'Anyone with a 10-year-old son has been there.' 'I have,' said Carolyn Deaver, wife of former presidential aide Michael Deaver.

'I suppose it's only natural,' he says of America's fascination with the British royal family. The Earl of Lichfield, official photographer at the wedding of Charles and Diana, the Prince and Princess of Wales, sits in his hotel suite, slightly unsettled by the onslaught of media attention directed at him.
