THE Prince of Wales was reunited yesterday with a woman who made headlines nearly 40 years ago when she gave him a kiss. Leila Sherwood first met Charles in 1979 as a 14-year-old, when she skipped school to see him at Cairns Airport in Australia. She said: "I broke through a barrier and jumped out in front of him. "I said, 'Charles, may I kiss you?'. He said, 'yes, alright then', so I pecked his cheek. I was all over the TV afterwards." Greeting the prince again outside St John the Evangelist Church in Cairns, the 54-year-old showed him a newspaper clipping from the time. She said: “He held my hand and said ‘bless you’ — I didn’t want to let go of his hand!” MOST READ IN NEWS‘HE WILL STRIKE AGAIN’ Family’s fury as sicko who murdered two schoolgirls is freed lucky to be alive Dad suffers ‘worst injuries ever seen’ in horror motorbike crash IS YOUR FACEBOOK SAFE? 12 things to delete from Facebook to protect your privacy … [Read more...] about Prince Charles reunited with fan who kissed him nearly 40 years ago during Australian tour

PRINCE Charles is fitted with a grass skirt before being made an honorary high chief on a South Pacific island — where some believe his dad Philip is a god. In the tradition of the Malvatumauri Council of Chiefs, Charles took part in a series of rituals as he was given the high chief name of Mal Menaringmanu. The Prince was also presented with a large wooden ceremonial object on Vanuatu. After meeting with Vanuatu's president and being given the first of many traditional garlands, it was time for a spot of shopping, as Charles picked up a hat and a bag for wife Camilla at a handicraft market. "They make such wonderful gifts, don't they," he said, as he snapped them up for 6000 vatu. Sovaki Zacharie, 19, who was lucky enough to chat to the prince at the market, said it was "so special" to have Charles visit the island. "We've only ever seen him in magazines, so to see him in real life makes me so happy," she said.
