Saturday, April 27, 1991<\/span><\/p>\n

K<\/b>ING CHARLES III made the final decision.<\/p>\n

The election had duly taken
\nplace as decreed by royal proclamation. The polling booths had been closed, the
\nvotes counted, the computers turned off-, and the experts and amateurs alike
\nhad collapsed into their beds in disbelief when they had heard the final
\nresult.<\/p>\n

The new King
\nhad been unable to sleep that Friday night while he considered yet again all
\nthe advice that had been offered to him by his courtiers during the past
\ntwenty-four hours. The choice he had been left with was by no means simple,
\nconsidering how recently he had ascended the throne.<\/p>\n

A few minutes
\nafter Big Ben had struck 6 A.M., the morning papers were placed in the corridor
\noutside his bedroom. The King slipped quietly out of bed, put on his dressing
\ngown and smiled at the startled footman when be opened the door. The King
\ngathered up the papers in his arms and took them through to the morning room in
\norder that the Queen would not be disturbed. Once he had settled comfortably
\ninto his favorite chair, he turned to the editorial pages. Only one subject was
\nwortfiy of their attention that day. The Fleet Street editors had all come to
\nthe same conclusion. The result of the election could not have been closer, and
\nthe new King had been placed in a most delicate position as to whom he should
\ncall to be his first Prime Minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
