So begins the unforgettable story of Charlotte Bill, who would care for a generation of royals as their parents never could.

Resumen del Editor
"In this sweeping, immersive novel, A Most English Princess draws readers into the mesmerizing world of the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria - Princess Vicky - as she emerges into a powerful force in her own right and ascends to become the first German Empress.” (Marie Benedict, New York Times best-selling author of The Only Woman in the Room)
Perfect for fans of the BBC's Victoria, Alison Pataki's The Accidental Empress, and Daisy Goodwin's Victoria, this debut novel tells the gripping and tragic story of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal.
To the world, she was Princess Victoria, daughter of a queen, wife of an emperor, and mother of Kaiser Wilhelm. Her family just called her Vicky...smart, pretty, and self-assured, she changed the course of the world.
January 1858: Princess Victoria glides down the aisle of St. James Chapel to the waiting arms of her beloved, Fritz, Prince Frederick, heir to the powerful kingdom of Prussia. Although theirs is no mere political match, Vicky is determined that she and Fritz will lead by example, just as her parents Victoria and Albert had done, and also bring about a liberal and united Germany.
Brought up to believe in the rightness of her cause, Vicky nonetheless struggles to thrive in the constrained Prussian court, where each day she seems to take a wrong step. And her status as the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria does little to smooth over the conflicts she faces.
But handsome, gallant Fritz is always by her side, as they they navigate court intrigue, and challenge the cunning Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, while fighting for the throne - and the soul of a nation. At home they endure tragedy, including their son, Wilhelm, rejecting all they stand for.
Clare McHugh tells the enthralling and riveting story of Victoria, the Princess Royal - from her younger years as the apple of her father Albert's eyes through her rise to power atop the mighty German empire to her final months of life.

Historia
When Queen Mary died in 1953, James Pope-Hennessy was commissioned to write an official biography of her - unusual for a queen consort. Queen Mary's life, contrary to popular belief, was essentially dramatic, and she played a far more important and influential role in the affairs of the British monarchy than her public image might have otherwise suggested. Using material from the Royal Archives, private papers, and Queen Mary's personal diaries and letters, Pope-Hennessy's biography was a remarkable portrait of a remarkable woman and received rave reviews across the press.

Historia
They were the Princess Dianas of their day—perhaps the most photographed and talked about young royals of the early twentieth century. The four captivating Russian Grand Duchesses—Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia Romanov—were much admired for their happy dispositions, their looks, the clothes they wore and their privileged lifestyle. Over the years, the story of the four Romanov sisters and their tragic end in a basement at Ekaterinburg in 1918 has clouded our view of them, leading to a mass of sentimental and idealized hagiography.

Light listening. Very light listening
It was just Ok for me. At times it felt like a soap opera. The scope of the story is somewhat narrow and focused on Victoria's marriage, her politics and the drama inside the royal family. There is lots of filler and over it felt too long.
I often judge a book by how often I think about it and the characters once it is finished and if it touches me in some way. I was glad this one was over. I am even surprised I finished it as I got so impatient with the drama and Victoria constant opinionating..

....If it wasn't for the narrator!
The story is interesting, entertaining, and appears to be historically mostly correct. I just wish the reader had some basic knowledge of the German language. She mispronounced most names, places, and quotes, which made me cringe too often.

A Most English Princess
An interesting account of Queen Victoria ‘s daughter, and her life as the wife of the Prince of Prussia. I am not sure of the accuracy of the history presented, however, I would enjoy further research into the facts. The story held my attention, for the most part. I was disappointed in the narration, which is a deal breaker for me. There were times when the German/Prussian/Austrian accents sounded more like something straight out of a Dracula movie. That being said, I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who is not as picky about narration.

Loved this book!
I listened to this book on Audible. After watching the show Victoria in PBS, this book was an excellent extension of Victoria’s eldest daughter. I enjoyed the book very much.

Beautiful Story
What a delight A Most English Princess: A Novel of Queen Victoria's Daughter by Clare McHugh turned out to be. To start, I did not realize the story was based on real people and events, so that was fun to realize soon after I started listening. I am so happy to have found this book on Audible as a 'deal of the day'. Being of Prussian heritage, this story was extra-special because I really enjoyed learning about the royalty of where some of my ancestors lived. The story focuses on Princess Vicky, the daughter of Queen Victoria beginning as a young girl all the way to being the first German Empress. The story completely captured my attention and I had so much trouble turning it off so I could go to sleep or do things I needed. The book is very well researched and written, simply a fantastic work of historical fiction. I would highly recommend this to lovers of historical fiction, this is not a fluffy read, there is a lot of information packed into this novel.

Balanced portrayal of main characters
I enjoyed the author’s ability to develop believable complicated personality within the princess. I also was interested in the history of the era.
