Argentina - Princess Diana Visits Patagonia
POOL
Puerto Piramide/Gaiman - 25 November 1995
Britain's Princess Diana won the title "Princess of Whales" - after she boarded a boat to go whale watching off the Patagonia coast. On the third day of her visit to Argentina, the Princess also met the descendants of Welsh farmers who settled in the region in the late 19th century. But while the whales appeared friendly enough, not all of the Welsh were prepared to welcome her. The whales were clearly enjoying the winter sunshine. So was the Princess of Wales, who had traveled to Patagonia to enjoy a day off after two days of hectic charity work and socialising in Buenos Aires. The Princess declined the offer of a life-jacket, aware perhaps that even here, in one of the world's remotest spots, she is still being scrutinised by the camera lens. This bay at Puerto Piramide is renowned for sightings of the endangered Southern Right whale. The whales seemed unabashed by the invasion of the Princess's motor launch - and the two press crafts that circled Diana as she circled the whales. It was yet another perfect photo opportunity. Having been photographed with paralysed children and cancer sufferers, the Princess, was now being photographed with another good cause -- endangered whales. After visiting the whales, Princess Diana visited the region's Welsh community. The 20-thousand strong community has earned the region the nick-name Little Wales. Welsh settlers landed here over a century ago -- a 100 years later and most of their descendants seemed delighted by the Princess of Wales's visit. Others were less enthusiastic though. For them, the Princess represents the English establishment - the very people who drove their ancestors to Patagonia long ago.
