“A portrait of the riotous, tragicomic, dysfunctional, bonkers Royal family of poor George III. . . . Fascinating, very, very funny, ultimately humane.” —Marian Keyes, international bestselling author When Nellie Welche is appointed companion to Princess Sophia, her family is delighted. It’s more than her father, steward to the Prince of Wales, ever imagined for his daughter. But once Nellie begins spending her days in close quarters with the royal family, she discovers the world within the palace is not at all what she expected. Rather than attending royal balls and society events, Princess Sofy and her sisters live in isolation. There’s also affable King George III, whose struggles with madness only deepen the privacy in which the royals must live. Over the course of a lifetime, Sofy and Nellie become inseparable. But as Sofy’s dearest friend, Nellie is also the keeper of her secrets—until the scandal that threatens their relationship . . . and the reputation of the House of Hanover. “Funny, fascinating and profoundly moving.” —Freya North, international bestselling author of The Turning Point “A delightfully smart and sophisticated historical novelist.” —The Sunday Times “Every page is a joy to read.” —Daily Mail
