Into the African Bush with Anne and Charles

VITA! VITA!" the pretty blonde shouted in Swahili. "Attack! Attack!" There, surrounded by hundreds of Kenyan schoolboys, was Britain's Princess Anne, cheering on the home side's soccer team. The princess, on a fortnight's tour of Kenya with her brother Prince Charles, was visiting a Nairobi home for 1,000 destitute and orphaned African boys. The school is supported by the Save the Children Fund, of which the princess is president.

Later the princess spent a night at Treetops, the game-viewing lodge where, in 1952, her mother became Queen Elizabeth II on the sudden death of King George VI. The first of the Queen's children to visit the spot and keep the traditional all-night vigil for game, Anne protested that she could not photograph a colony of wart hogs below: she was blocked by photographers waiting to photograph her. Brother Charles, who landed a 62-lb. perch in Kenya's Lake Rudolf before setting off on a four-day camel safari in the wild northeast, also had a complaint about the cameramen. "Watch it!" he snapped when one of them discarded some film cartons. "I hope you are not going to leave that litter around in this beautiful country." The photographer picked up the cartons.
