Prince Charles never has to travel alone. His companion is a childhood teddy bear, writes royal chronicler Andrew Morton in the forthcoming book Diana's Diary. It's said that Teddy's packed by a valet for trips abroad but stays behind when the Prince, 41, visits regiments where he's Colonel-in-Chief. Image, you know. The bear, whose worn paws were re-sewn by the Queen Mum, is tucked into bed at night lest he get cold. As A.A. Milne might say, "Hush! Hush! Laugh if you dare/ That's the future King Charles with Mr. Edward Bear."
