The princess is, as much as she can be, on her guard. Still it must have felt at times like the Big Brother house (all those faces famous from the tabloids, the occasional popular eviction)? Like you would in a little crescent, say.' I wonder if, in the heyday of this odd little corner of London, the residents were all forever in and out of each other's houses, borrowing the inevitable cups of sugar, moaning about the neighbours. Her pedigree cats sidle up to toy with my tape recorder. She casts a spirited, proprietorial eye over the borders. Still, it's Michael's now - at least for the next couple of years until the Queen decides she can no longer stump up for her cousin's rent - so the princess is making the most of it. And then, when Diana lived alone, she entertained here, but she was never much of a gardener. In between times, Charles and Diana moved into the end of their terrace and they had use of the garden, though they did not like it much because it was overlooked by all the other residents, Princess Margaret, the Gloucesters and the rest.
