Based on a seldom-told true story, this novel is perfect for everyone who is fascinated by Britainโs royal familyโa 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, exhaustedโand 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 CharlotteโLaLa, as her charges dub herโnor 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 Charlotteโs 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 Lalaโs loveโthe kind of love his parents wonโtโฆor canโtโฆshow him.
From Britainโs 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 fictionโan intensely intimate, yet epic tale spanning decades, continents, and divides that only love can cross.
