Synopsis

Step behind the palace doors in this gripping historical novel that is a must read for fans of The Crown and Princess Diana! Praise for Flora Harding: Buckingham Palace, 1981 Her engagement to Prince Charles is a dream come true for Lady Diana Spencer but marrying the heir to the throne is not all that it seems. Alone and bored in the palace, she resents the stuffy courtiers who are intent on instructing her about her new role as Princess of Wales… But when she discovers a diary written in the 1800s by Princess Charlotte of Wales, a young woman born into a gilded cage so like herself, Diana is drawn into the story of Charlotte’s reckless love affairs and fraught relationship with her father, the Prince Regent. As she reads the diary, Diana can see many parallels with her own life and future as Princess of Wales. The story allows a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life in the palace, the tensions in Diana’s relationship with the royal family during the engagement, and the wedding itself. ‘If you’re , you’ll love this’ ‘Fascinating…’ ‘. It carries so much depth and warmness, and closeness to the characters that you do not want to part from them…a page-turner’

Goodreads review by Diana on April 06, 2022

I was expecting a book about Princess Diana, but ended up finding Princess Charlotte's story even more endearing! The dual storyline in this book is tied together very well.
