The Little Princesses by Marion Crawford
4.0
Please don't think I didn't love this because it took me so long to read. Quite the opposite, I wanted to savour it!
I admit I am a tad daggy and into the royal family now. Yes it's because, like everyone else, I loved The Crown, but I defend myself by saying I was pretty into them before that. Now it's just... crazier.
Reading about young Elizabeth and Margaret was enchanting. Such normal, funny little girls.
I cried my way through the chapter about Elizabeth and Philip (just let them be together!!)
My one complaint is what happened to our governess, Crawfie, who wrote this charming and beautiful memoir. Because of cause, the royal family banished her after being part of their family (and giving up her own life) for years. I know this is their policy, such as the Queens recent scandal with her lingerie provider, but with crawfie it felt so cruel. She died a very lonely old lady, and they never reached out to her again. Very sad.
4.5 stars.
