Based on a seldom-told true story, this novel is perfect
for
everyone who is fascinated by Britain’s royal family—a
behind the scenes look into the nurseries of little
princes
and the foibles of big princes.
April, 1897: A young nanny arrives at Sandringham,
ancestral
estate of the Duke and Duchess of York. She is excited,
exhausted—and about to meet royalty. . . .
So begins the unforgettable story of Charlotte Bill, who
would care for a generation of royals as their parents
never
could. Neither Charlotte—LaLa, as her charges dub her—nor
anyone else can predict that eldest sons David and Bertie
will each one day be king. LaLa knows only that these
children, and the four who swiftly follow, need her
steadfast loyalty and unconditional affection.
But the greatest impact on Charlotte’s life is made by a
mere bud on the family tree: a misunderstood soul who
will
one day be known as the Lost Prince. Young Prince John
needs
all of Lala’s love—the kind of love his parents won’t…or
can’t…show him.
From Britain’s old wealth to the glittering excesses of
Tsarist Russia; from country cottages to royal yachts,
and
from nursery to ballroom, Charlotte Bill witnesses
history.
TheRoyal Nanny is a seamless blend of
fact and fiction—an intensely intimate, yet epic tale
spanning decades, continents, and divides that only love
can
cross.
