A No-No in Araby
</hdr><body>
<p>By Howard G. Chua-Eoan
</p>
<p> They may look a bit grumpy, but at least the Waleses are
traveling together again. Though Charles and Diana chose not to
come to the U.S. as a pair, last week they made a joint
appearance in Kuwait, just 30 miles from Iran, which recently
broke off ties with Britain over the Salman Rushdie affair.
Security was so tight that the only thing breached was protocol.
While talking to Crown Prince Sheik Saad, Diana, who wore
unrevealing clothes in deference to local mores, suddenly
crossed her legs -- a big no-no in Arab circles, where a glimpse
of stocking is still considered shocking. The crown prince
diplomatically turned the other way. The Kuwaitis, though, gave
Diana a few fashion tips. They presented her with a gold
sequined Bedouin robe. Charles, in turn, received a traditional
woolen desert robe. The couple traveled on to Bahrain, Abu Dhabi
and Dubai, where security reasons prompted the prince to cancel
a polo match. Charles then flew alone to Saudi Arabia.
