MARTIN STENNING (39), the photographer banned from going near Princess Diana, was attacked by two men early yesterday. Mr Stenning was approached by the pair as he left his home in Borough High Street, near London Bridge, at about 3.30 a.m.
Only one of the four photographers warned to stay away from the royal family at Balmoral met the deadline set for an official response, Buckingham Palace said.
Interest in the Balmoral holiday is high amid speculation that Prince Charles could be planning to use the occasion to meet Camilla Parker Bowles.
Princess Rashidah (27), daughter of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, the world's richest man, was married yesterday in the oil-rich kingdom's wedding of the decade.
After the wedding, Pengiran Anak Abdul Rahim Pengriran Kemaludin (26) and his bride were driven in a colourful procession around Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.
The wedding vigil will continue until Saturday. Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston are to perform at the Jerudong Park Garden tomorrow and on Saturday as part of the festivities.
President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe used his wedding speech to accuse newspapers of prying into his relationship with his new wife. Dr Mugabe married Grace Marufu, his former secretary, in a gala affair on Saturday with thousands of guests, four other presidents looking on and greetings from the Pope.
The very public event contrasted with years of official secrecy around Mugabe's love life. The couple have a seven-year-old daughter and a nine- year-old son, both born before Dr Mugabe's first wife, Sally, died of a kidney ailment in 1991 after 33 years of marriage.
