Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and the author for the gifted copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

My only experience with the royal family is from watching The Crown (and only the newest season) so when I saw a book focused on the relationship between Queen Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret, I was immediately interested. Real life is so much more scandalous than the show could ever be!

The first part of the book focuses on their uncle abdicating the throne so that Elizabeth and Margaret's father becomes King of England. This changes the dynamic of the sisters' relationship because now Elizabeth is the heir apparent and more of a focus is put on her.

As Elizabeth settles into her life as Queen of England with her family, Margaret is still trying to find someone who can assimilate into the royal family. The second half of the book focuses on Margaret's relationships and how they affect the royal family.

I liked this book because although it's about both sisters, I learned the most about Margaret. As detailed in the beginning, Margaret was often pushed aside or had to have her wishes approved by Elizabeth. I like that she is able to take more of spotlight in this story.

This isn't just another biography about the royal family and I highly recommend if you like The Crown!
