Carla Bruni-Sarkozy deserves a 20-gun salute all to herself

It cannot have been easy to step of the plane knowing that British newspapers had her nude photograph (professionally done though it was) all over the front pages. It undoubtedly added to her nervousness in her new capacity as First Lady of France. Nonetheless, she stepped on the plane smiling, charming, looking every inch the First Lady. Nicolas Sarkozy must be so very pleased with her. They make a charming and attractive couple. I am glad for France. I hope the whole of France is proud of them.

I am so proud of them for France that I called the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., USA, to express my congratulations and admiration for the way Carla Bruni-Sarkozy carried of this difficult diplomatic assignment. This is a memorable first couple.

And I would like to add that Prince Charles gets my kudos for his chivalry. His gesture, kissing Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's hand was olde worle courtesy and charm and what England has always stood for. Kudos Prince Charles.
