Naked Ambition: Is there a nude drawing inside Prince Charles waiting to get out? Yes, says a student at a school the prince created. Doreen Liu told reporters in London that Charles, who paints, would like to create such an undressed form, but he hasn’t done it “because he was afraid he would be on the news,” said Liu. The prince was in Oxford last week at the architecture summer school.

Love Story: He was a freshman in college. She was still in high school. They had talked of marriage, but then she became pregnant. Her mother told him to stop seeing or talking to her daughter. He stopped. The baby boy was put up for adoption. The parents did not talk for almost 25 years. Now, that son, Mark Kitts, is a 24-year-old minister who sought his birth parents. What he found were two people who had never forgotten each other. So now the son has officiated at the wedding of his own parents in Tullahoma, Tenn. “I’ve always been in love with him,” Karen Caldwell said. “There have always been sparks,” Roger Caldwell said.

Not the Royal Suite: Swedish King Karl Gustav XVI took his camping gear and went among the commoners to camp in a tent overnight with youngsters at a world Scout jamboree in Seoul, South Korea. The king is the only dignitary to camp out at the jamboree, which includes youngsters from 121 nations. The monarch’s stay was part of his work to raise money for the World Organization of the Scout Movement. He is one of the group’s 16 million members.

Hang-Up: A portrait of President Bush is to be dedicated at the Presidential Museum in Odessa, Tex., in December. Trouble is, the museum doesn’t have a place to hang it. The oil portrait of Bush, who once lived in Odessa, is stored in a back room. County budget cuts mean a planned museum expansion is off, but Bobbye Durrett, president of the museum board, says December’s dedication is still on. And the President is invited--even though the painting’s status is undecided. “It would be a trifle embarrassing if he came here and we had no place for it,” Durrett said.
