Summary

Diana believes in love. Growing up amid the fallout of her parents’ bitter divorce, she takes refuge in romantic novels. She dreams of being rescued by a handsome prince.  

Prince Charles loves his freedom. He’s in no rush to wed, but his family have other ideas. Charles must marry for the future of the Crown. The right girl needs to be found, and fast. She must be young, aristocratic and free of past liaisons.  

The teenage Diana Spencer is just about the only candidate. Her desperation to be loved dovetails with royal desperation for a bride. But the route to the altar is full of hidden obstacles and people with their own agendas.  

When she steps from the golden carriage on her wedding day, has Diana’s romantic dream come true? Or is it already over?

Critic reviews

'Full of delicious details and spot-on portrayals of several familiar royal personages, this delicate, sometimes wistful story will delight fans of historical fiction and British royalty.' (Booklist)
'Holden’s unique framing device allows readers to get an intimate look at the early life of Princess Di, giving them a fresh perspective on a woman whom many people feel they already know.' (Library Journal)
