But when the king learns of their relationship, the suitability of the foreign prince is questioned by all at court.

He is the risk she has never been allowed to take. The risk not even the shadow of the crown will stop her from taking…

Step through the palace gates and discover a captivating historical novel of royal secrets and forbidden love exploring the tempestuous courtship between Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip in the wake of WWII.

loved it. the narration is excellent.

beautiful story. excellent narration. i learned a lot about the royal family and the time leading up to the wedding.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the book, and many moments very much that it helped me envision. I thought it ended rather abruptly and wish there was an epilogue regarding any facts ., etc. I didn’t see a need for two readers since both were expressed in each chapter and person changed throughput.

Lovely

I think this book about the Queen is lovely.... I loved reading how he falls for Phillip at first sight and she never gives up her love! I enjoyed the story very-very much... Enjoyable book!

Disappointing- same stories shown in the crown in a little different order. Told from 2 points of view.
