But things become increasingly complicated as the young royals navigate adulthood. It is May 1945 and Princess Elizabeththe heiress presumptive to the British thronehas fallen in love, and the only member of her family who is happy for her is her governess. No one in the young princesss life thinks that Prince Philip of Greece would be a suitable husband for the future Queen of England. No one that is, except for Marion Crawford.

But as Crawfie prevails to marry George and stands with him in Westminster Abbey on Elizabeth and Philips wedding day, she is unaware that her troubled relationship with Queen Elizabeth is far from over. And just around the corner is a betrayal that will sever her bond with the royal family forever.
