About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from fairytales to a deeper curiosity about real people and the complexities of the past. It is perfect for the child who is obsessed with the aesthetic of royalty but is ready to understand that being a princess involved more than just wearing a crown. Through historical accounts of women like Mary II and Queen Victoria, the book balances the allure of palace life with the realities of duty, isolation, and resilience. This nonfiction guide introduces children to the true stories of British princesses across different eras. It highlights their educations, their family bonds, and the unique pressures they faced. By framing these historical figures as real girls with hobbies, fears, and strengths, it encourages young readers to find parallels in their own lives while building a foundational interest in biography and history. It is an ideal bridge for ages 7 to 11 between glittery fiction and factual learning.
