AN Australian grey nomad was bemused to find this photograph and caption on the World News pages of the widely read Borneo Bulletin daily newspaper.

"We all know poor Camilla cops more than her fair share of flak from some quarters about her appearance," the caravanner told Caravanning News after returning from a six-day holiday in oil-rich Brunei on the north coast of Borneo recently.

"But I have to ask myself whether it was absolutely necessary to point out in the caption exactly which of the two people shown was the Prince.

"Surely the good people of Borneo and Brunei don't need telling which of them is Charles, or do they?"

Well, they should ... photographs of the royal couple filled television screens and were plastered across pages of local newspapers when the Prince and Duchess last year dropped in for a chat with soldiers at the British Army Garrison in Seria, which stands at the centre of Brunei's oil industry.
