Royal Love Stories
Royal Love Stories: The Tales Behind the Real-Life Romances of Europe's Kings and Queens | Gill Paul
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Historically, many royal marriages have represented the unions of dynasties, with true engagements of the heart notable for their rarity. Yet royal couples could fall in love, and this book is full of surprises, from the undying love that the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, felt for his Tsarina, to the unlikely love that flourished between Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Amongst them, too, are less happy loves of Crown Prince Rudolph for his 17-year-old lover, Countess Mary Vetsera, or, in the 1940s, of the Prince of Sweden, refused consent to marry the girl he loved she only became his princess over 30 years later. Bringing the reader right up to modern times, and touching, absorbing, and tragic by turns, these stories bring the glamour and the contradictions of royalty vividly to life.

2. Can‘t remember not loving books but my Year 4 teacher, Mrs. Barrett read to me some fantastic books and also included book reviews as a form of assessment. I remember doing heaps of them. I still keep in contact with her. 3. All day but when I wake up sets me in the right mood for the day. 4. In full view by Lily Brett. It was one of the first books I resold to a secondhand dealer. I still regret it. I ❤️ strong female characters. #manicmonday
