4.0
Royal by Danielle Steel takes place during World War II. The King and Queen of England have 3 daughters, Princesses Alexandra, Victoria and Charlotte. Princess Charlotte is the youngest and takes after her ancestor Queen Victoria with her very slight stature. An avid horsewoman, she also suffers from breathing problems that are made even worse by the constant bombings England receives from the Germans.
Hoping to improve her health, the King and Queen decide to send Charlotte to the countryside, living under the name Charlotte White and allowing no one besides her hosts to know her true identity. She falls in love with her hosts' son Henry and they secretly wed when she after she gets pregnant. Tragedy strikes and Henry dies in the war and Charlotte dies after giving birth.
Her daughter grows up never knowing she is a royal until the death of Lucy, the young woman who was also staying in the country with Charlotte who took Annie Louise as her own. Annie Louise loves horses as much as her mother did and is fearless, with dreams of becoming a female jockey, which is still unheard of, while getting used to the idea of being royal and embracing her new family and title of Princess and finding love.
