In this spellbinding tale from Danielle Steel, a princess is sent away to safety during World War II, where she falls in love, and is lost forever.
As the war rages on in the summer of 1943, the King and Queen choose to quietly send their youngest daughter, Princess Charlotte, to live with a trusted noble family in the country. Despite her fiery nature, the princess’s fragile health poses far too great a risk for her to remain with her family in London.
Third in line for the throne, seventeen-year-old Charlotte arrives in Yorkshire, her two guardians the only keepers of her true identity. In time, she settles comfortably into a private life, befriending a young evacuee and training with her cherished horse. But no one predicts that she will fall deeply in love with her protectors’ son.
But after Charlotte gives birth to a child, the infant is tragically orphaned. Raised in the most humble circumstances by a modest stable manager and his wife, no one, not even she, knows of her lineage. But when a stack of hidden letters is unearthed, a secret kept for nearly two decades finally surfaces, and a long-lost princess emerges.
A fascinating story of family and royalty, and an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary young woman and the man who brings her home, Royal is an exhilarating work from America’s most beloved storyteller.
