All you need to know to be a princess— Or Just live like one Compiled by Mia Thermopolis aka Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo of Genovia

Leticia Dorman, daughter of a duke, has been engaged to the crown prince, Clarke, since age seven. Though once a spirited child, she’s undergone ten years of strict lessons to teach her manners fit for the future queen. Distraught by the loss of her freedom, Leticia clings to her hope that the prince might someday take an interest in another woman—and when he shows up to a royal ball with an unknown lady at his side, she’s elated to see her engagement broken off. Finally, her dream has come true! Lettie wastes no time at all in retreating to the countryside for her new peaceful life, but her joy is cut short when the prince appears and informs her that she is still, in fact, his fiancée. Prince Clarke is determined to win her heart and marry her. Lettie is determined to resist him and escape. The universe is determined to not be of any help whatsoever.

Now that Lettie and Clarke have at last tied the knot, their honeymoon trip begins! And everyone else is also there, of course–one does not simply go on a honeymoon without an entire entourage of unrelated persons, after all. The gang arrives at Prince Louis’s native Kingdom of Delbaran, home to a magnificent castle, exciting sights, and probably the strangest royal family on the entire continent, bar none. As Lettie and Clarke navigate their life as newlyweds, Brianna and Nadir begin to grow closer, but not all is rosy in this eventful trip...

With her wedding to Clarke looming closer, Lettie has found herself feeling...unexpected things for the prince. Having sought a moment alone to attempt to clear her head, she was whisked away by a pair of strangers—only for it all to have been one big misunderstanding. Now stuck in a predicament with Louis, the third prince of a neighboring nation, and his long suffering servant Lyle, Lettie has a potential international incident to worry about on top of her conflicting feelings for Clarke. What’s a girl to do? Simple: attempt yet another escape! Meanwhile, Prince Clarke and Lettie’s brother Nadir race against the clock to rescue her from what they assume to be a terrible fate.

Duchess Leticia Dorman has been betrothed to Crown Prince Clarke since age seven. She was once a rambunctious and free-spirited child, but the strict education she’s receiving to make her a fit future princess has really put a cramp in her lifestyle. Her only hope is that the prince might someday take an interest in someone else—so when Clarke shows up to a royal ball with an unknown woman at his side, Lettie is overcome with delight, presuming her dream has come true and her engagement has been broken off! She wastes no time retreating to an easygoing countryside life, but her newfound peace is cut short when the prince shows up and claims she’s still his fiancée! Clarke is determined to win Lettie over and marry her, while Lettie is determined to resist his charms and escape! Who will emerge victorious in this heart-pounding battle of wills?

Baron Lariquel, a kindhearted, gullible man, has been conned out of all his assets, leaving his family deeply in debt and on the verge of utter ruin. His adopted daughter, Brianna, is determined to marry into money and repay him for lovingly raising her as one of his own. She thinks her prayers have been answered when the crown prince, Clarke, asks her to accompany him to the next royal ball—only for her parade to be rained on, heavily, when she realizes Clarke simply wants to make his fiancée, Leticia, jealous. Out of options, Brianna sets her sights on Leticia’s brother Nadir, the cold and calculating heir to the duchy of Dorman. He agrees to settle her family’s debt under one condition—that she pretends to be his fiancée! Another heart-throbbing tale is about to begin!

In November 2017 the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. As a 13-year-old Princess, she fell in love with Prince Philip of Greece, an ambitious naval cadet, and they married when she was 21; when she suddenly became Queen at 25, their lives changed forever. Philip has been her great support, but fortunately she also had a solid foundation that helped prepare her for a life dedicated to duty. With previously unpublished material and unique memories from friends and relatives who have known her since childhood, this book looks afresh and in richer depth at her life as Princess, glittering yet isolating. Vivid detail and anecdotes reveal more about her, the era in which she grew up and the people who shaped her life. The archives of royal confidante Lady Desborough and Private Secretary Sir Alec Hardinge reveal unseen letters from the Princess and the royal family, giving intimate insights into their lives and minds. Here is her sadness at the death of her nanny, Alah; her joy in her children; her melancholy as a young wife when Philip returns to his ship; the sensitivities of her father. Here too is the Princess with the aristocratic Bowes Lyons, her mother’s family, who featured significantly in her life, yet rarely appear in books. The author sheds new light on anomalies surrounding the birth of her mother who, it has been asserted, was the daughter of the family’s cook. The strain of wartime on the royal family is highlighted in new material contrasting the stance of the Princess’s uncles, the Duke of Windsor and David Bowes Lyon. In contrast with her upbringing, Philip’s early life was turbulent, although their lives shared some interesting parallels. Lady Butter, a relation of Philip and friend of the Princess, recalls time spent with each of them; and unpublished documents show how intelligence agencies considered the socialist influence of the Mountbattens on Philip and thus on the royal court. More importantly, Princess traces how an “ordinary country girl” suddenly found herself in the line of succession to the crown at age ten when her Uncle, the Duke of Windsor, abdicated the throne to his brother Albert (“Bertie” to family and friends), the once and future King George VI. Breaking new ground for a future English monarch, she became the first female member of the royal family to serve on active duty during World War II, and broke tradition by sending her children away to school rather having them privately tutored. Indeed, by the time of her coronation in 1953, she had already achieved a “broad and solid background from which she could draw during the rapidly changing times of her long reign. Out of a little princess they made a Queen.”
