For a royal flush, tune into the North American premiere of Princesses of the World. If you're not a fan of the tiara-wearing set, this show is not for you -- with in-depth looks at Diana, Princess of Wales, Princess Grace of Monaco (Grace Kelly) and Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

The Age
Patton 'murder' aided by US, says author
The recently unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA, reveal that US spy chiefs wanted General Patton dead because he was threatening to expose Allied collusion with the Soviets that cost American lives.
The death of General Patton in December 1945 is an enduring mystery. Although he had suffered serious injuries in a car crash, he was thought to be recovering and was on the verge of flying home.
But after a decade-long investigation, Robert Wilcox, a military historian, claims that the head of the Office of Strategic Services, General "Wild Bill" Donovan, ordered a marksman, Douglas Bazata, to silence General Patton.
His book, Target Patton, contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton's Cadillac and how he then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his neck.
Mr Bazata also suggested that when General Patton began to recover from his injuries, US officials turned a blind eye as agents of the NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB, poisoned him.
Wilcox said that when he spoke to Mr Bazata, "he was struggling with himself, all these killings he had done".
Mr Bazata was a member of the Jedburghs, the elite unit that parachuted into France to help organise the Resistance in the run up to D-Day in 1944.
After the war he became a celebrated artist who enjoyed the patronage of Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. He ended his career as an aide to president Ronald Reagan's navy secretary, John Lehman.

"When I told my husband I would follow him to the ends of the earth, I never really thought it would happen," laughed Mary Lou Kirby, a travel agent in my office. "Yet, the wonderful thing I learned after living in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore is how we are all the same, but in different ways.
"That's why I never let traveling to far away places scare me. No matter where you go, you soon realize people are just like you and me. They are just trying to take care of everyday chores and to keep their families together," Mary Lou said. "For me, one of the joys of traveling is seeing and experiencing cultural differences. That's why I loved my repositioning cruise to the Mediterranean."
The great thing about a re-positioning cruise is rates are generally very good. A trans-Atlantic-Med crossing usually takes five days, so it provides an excellent opportunity to relax, read and prepare for the following great destinations which awaited. Here are few quick impressions from her Med sailing:
Rock of Gibraltar
This place is inhabited by wild monkeys — everywhere. Even though I prefer them in cages, it was so interesting to see them come right up to you and beg for food. We took the tram to the top and enjoyed spectacular views of the Atlantic joining the Mediterranean Sea.
Monte Carlo
This playground of the rich and famous is also something to see. The little town that sits on top of this plateau overlooking the sea is so quaint and beautiful. The palace where Princess Grace lived was lovely. Our cruise line, Princess Cruises, had prepared a lunch for us atop a building right across from the casino so we got to watch all the big players come and go. The Casino in Monte Carlo is not like Vegas — it's the kind of place where, if you have money to bet, you don't even count it.
Rome
Our ship actually docked in the port city of Civitavecchia and made a two-hour bus trip into Rome where we toured the Vatican. One great thing about doing the ship's shore excursion is you by-pass all of the lines and walk right in — oohing and ahhing all the way. After our tour of the Vatican, we were driven all over Rome to see its wonders. Once again, we enjoyed a nice lunch set up by Princess Cruises. After a long day of sightseeing, we returned to the ship where a huge "welcome home" sign and a staff serving fresh lemonade awaited. Now, that's the way I like to travel.

CBC Newsworld equates the holiday season with tales of royalty.
For reasons that are hard to pin down, this makes sense, the way nutcracker kings, figure skating mice and ducks, and monsters with Boris Karloff's voice fit in with the spirit -they offer escape back to childhood for even the most jaded adult.
So the news network is inundating us with a tsunami of monarchy-themed documentaries during Christmas week. They are:
"Prince Charles' Other Mistress" and "Princesses of the World," Sunday, Dec. 21: The first tells the story of an Australian woman with whom Charles had an affair in the 1970s; the second is an anthology of sound-bite tales about fairy-tale beauties and monsters.
"Prince William & Harry: The Future," Monday Dec. 22: A typical fawning bit of fluff about these two handsome young lads.
"Snowdon and Margaret," Tuesday Dec. 23: The one guilty pleasure -a racy tabloid tale of the princess and her jet-set photographer husband.
"Queen Elizabeth: Born to Reign," Wednesday, Dec. 24: Biography of a nice lady who likes horses and dogs.
"Grace Kelly: Destiny of a Princess," Thursday, Dec. 25: Biography of the actress who gave up being Hitchcock's muse to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco.
"Diana's Jewels," Thursday: A chance to drool over royal extravagance.
If these specials have one thing in common, it's that they all seem to be oblivious to the triviality and stupidity that seem to infest this weird leftover class from the Middle Ages.
If you watch enough of them, you could start screaming at the hint of one more line about someone's eyes turning to ice because a commoner got too familiar or one more drooling, fawning passage about one of these loons being just like a normal person.
