Charles Catches Heat For Beauty Sleep During Colombo Layover
Britain's Prince Charles drew criticism in Colombo after reportedly sleeping through a one hour stopover en route to Australia for Sir Robert Menzies funeral. The Sun mocked him while the Daily News offered a gentler note, noting the prince appeared fatigued as dignitaries greeted the arrival at Colombo International Airport at 3 25 a m. Acting Foreign Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe was on hand to receive the delegation.
