The Duke meets the girls
Where would the South Pacific be without its girls? The Duke of Edinburgh on his recent tour of the area seemed to be falling over them everywhere. Not that he looked upset about it. "Doesn't he realise taro pudding can be hot on the fingers?" this Malaita lass (right) seems to be saying as the Duke gets a handful during his visit to the Solomons. Bottom right, the Duke takes special interest in talking to this young New Hebridean girl. In Port Moresby, what did the Duke find?
More girls. These young ladies, offering the Duke in full uniform a variety of expressions, were among the large crowd at Jack son's Airport to greet him at the end of his tour of the territory and the Pacific.
