In Royal Service to the Queen: A Novel of the Queen's Governess by Tessa Arlen

5.0

This is a fascinating novel that gives us an insider's view of life as a Princess, as told through the eyes of Marion Crawford, who was governess to Elizabeth and Margaret for 16 years. This book takes us not only through the early years of Elizabeth's life, but also through British history, including World War II and Elizabeth's marriage to Philip.

In Royal Service to the Queen is well-written, compelling, and in the end, slightly heartbreaking.

I received a free copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley. My review is voluntary.
