User:Kathill7/Prince Pierre Raymond Doan

Prince Pierre Raymond Doan was known to me as "Tiane Doan." He was traveling in Kathmandu, Nepal, in early April, 1969, where I married Donald Hill at the temple of Swayambu Nath. We invited many strangers (Western hippies were roaming Asia) to our wedding and to lunch afterward, and Tiane was one of them. He was tall, thin, elegant, grey-haired and looked like a classic Navajo, but was known to be a deposed Laotian prince. He wore a tribal silver necklace rumored to contain human bones. Donald recognized him from news articles about Barbara Hutton. Tiane was carrying full photographic regalia including a Hasselblad camera and was a professional photographer. He was travelling with a beautiful young woman from northern Europe and they left Nepal shortly after our wedding.
