About this listen

In this spellbinding tale from Danielle Steel, a princess is sent away to safety during World War II, where she falls in love, and is lost forever.

As the war rages on in the summer of 1943, causing massive destruction and widespread fear, the King and Queen choose to quietly send their youngest daughter, Princess Charlotte, to live with a trusted noble family in the country. Despite her fiery, headstrong nature, the princess' fragile health poses far too great a risk for her to remain in war-torn London.

Third in line for the throne, 17-year-old Charlotte reluctantly uses an alias upon her arrival in Yorkshire, her two guardians the only keepers of her true identity. In time, she settles comfortably into a life out of the spotlight, befriending a young evacuee and training with her cherished horse. But no one predicts that in the coming months she will fall deeply in love with her protectors' son.

She longs for a normal life. Far from her parents, a tragic turn of events leaves an infant orphaned. Alone in the world, that child will be raised in the most humble circumstances by a modest stable manager and his wife. No one, not even she, knows of her lineage. But when a stack of hidden letters comes to light, a secret kept for nearly two decades finally surfaces, and a long lost princess emerges.

A fascinating story of family and royalty, and an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary young woman and the man who brings her home, Royal is an exhilarating work from America's most beloved storyteller.

A Goodie- almost a fairy tale

I thought this might be my last Danielle Steel novel but it was much better than expected. I've realized over the years of occasional D.S. novels that the writing isn't excellent but I enjoy the plots. This was one of the best D.S. tales I've enjoyed in ages. This bit of fantasy held me and I went through it quickly.

Good Old Fashioned Romance!

I really enjoyed this! I liked that you never quite knew where this story was going to go. It has some dark premonitions that made me imagine at some point it was all going to go awry into a tragedy. But it is a true “Princess Bride” story. And I loved it!

Exceptional story & outstandingly narrated

The well-crafted plot was almost believable given the circumstances. But it was the narrators natural transition of the voices of the various characters That made this story truly special.

I loved that Annie pursued her dream, and still ended up with the man she loved

The only thing I didn’t like was that the narrator pronounced Derby as Darby.

I love the story!

The perfect princess

It started a little slow for me but it picked right up and kept me engaged. I loved how she integrated the two worlds. The way she honored her step-father was beautiful. I actually don’t like the word step father. He was her father in every way.

If it wasn’t free…

This book was not very compelling. The story drags out and the author repeats itself and it is mainly in a narrative voice. Why do you have a male reader for a story with a predominantly female protagonist(s)? Had to finish it but it was a chore. I’ve read far better Steele books
