Royally Wed
by Teri Wilson

Royal wedding fun is right in the title with this one! This is actually the third in a royal romance trilogy from author Teri Wilson, and not only is it delightfully timely, it’s a retelling of the classic Fred Astaire film Royal Wedding. In Teri’s version, American cellist Asher is a last-minute sub at the nuptials of British Princess Amelie…but when he starts falling for the bride-to-be himself, will he be tossed out of the orchestra and into the dungeon? If you love this one, don’t miss the previous two, Royally Romanov (retelling Anastasia) and Royally Roma (Roman Holiday, of course!)

Teri Wilson

Teri Wilson’s Royals series returns with this charming and witty retelling of the timeless classic MGM film Royal Wedding starring Fred Astaire.When Asher Reed, an American classical musician, is hired as a last minute replacement to perform at the royal wedding of Princess Amelia in Great Britain, he’s hoping he can shake his recent bout with performance anxiety long enough to get through the festivities and get his career back on track. Little does he know that his life is about to change forever. As a guest of Buckingham Palace, he knows he has no business even speaking to the princess, but he’s completely awed by her beauty and more than a little intrigued by her rebellious spirit. Still, he definitely knows he has no business kissing her silly at the fitting of her wedding gown. He’s there to perform, not cause a royal scandal. But when he stumbles upon her groom’s appalling secret, the fate of the princess and the British Crown suddenly rest squarely in his cello-playing hands.... With Teri Wilson’s signature “endearingly charming and delightfully sizzling” (USA TODAY bestselling author Nina Bocci) prose, Royally Wed is a delightful whirlwind romance that will leave you breathless and have you out of your seat for a standing ovation.

The Royal We
by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

Are Cocks and Morgan psychic? These co-authors (also known as The Fug Girls for their hilarious fashion blog) seem to have predicted Meghan and Harry’s romance…or is it more like Kate and Wills? In this case, Bex is an American student at Oxford who falls for the guy across the hall—a guy who just happens to be a prince. (Another Prince Nick! Is this like when girls named Bubbles grow up to be strippers?)

The Runaway Princess
by Hester Browne

Finding a date in London: a good thing. Finding a rich, handsome boyfriend in London: a great thing. Finding out that your rich, handsome boyfriend is actually heir to the throne? NOT such a good thing, at least according to career girl Amy Wilde. Will following her heart mean giving up the rest of her life?

The Runaway Princess
Hester Browne

The Princess Diaries meets Runaway Bride in this wonderful novel about a London career girl who embarks on a whirlwind romance with a mysterious man—only to discover that he’s a prince.If Amy Wilde’s new boyfriend, Leo, treats her like a queen, that’s because he’s secretly a prince himself: Leopold William Victor Wolfsburg of Nirona, the ninth most eligible royal bachelor in the world. Amy soon discovers that dating an heir to a throne has many charms—intimate alfresco dinners, glittering galas, and, for a girl who lives in jeans and wellies, a dazzling new wardrobe with tiaras to match. But there are also drawbacks: imagine the anxiety of meeting your boyfriend’s parents multiplied by a factor of “riding in a private jet,” “staying in a castle,” and “discussing the line of succession over lunch.” Not to mention the sudden press interest in your very un-royal family. When an unexpected turn of events pushes Leo closer to the throne, the Wolfsburgs decide to step up Amy’s transformation from down-to-earth gardener to perfectly polished princess-in-waiting. Amy would do anything for Leo, but is finding her Prince Charming worth the price of losing herself?

The Princess Diaries

Even people who rolled their eyes at Anne Hathaway’s Fantine in Les Miz have to find a little love in their hearts for Mia Thermopolis, don’t they? This charming YA novel introduces a girl who just wants to survive high school but discovers she’s got a little more on her plate than your average freshman—like being heir to the throne of an obscure European principality. It seems most of us have a little princess fantasy, because this led to a series with 10 more books to devour.

William and Kate
by Christopher Andersen

Enough of these pretend princesses! you shout. Just the facts, ma’am. If you’re a royal wedding purist, maybe sprightly novels with made-up princes are not your thing. Instead, pore over every detail of “Wills and Katie”’s courtship, as they evolve from dorm mates to an on-again, off-again couple, to a fairytale wedding in which the girl with the shiniest hair in all the land finally lands her prince. (And her sister’s butt becomes famous, while we’re at it.)

William and Kate
Christopher Andersen

I put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life, you must hang on to that love and look after it. . . . You must protect it. —Diana, Princess of Wales The book that surprised the industry, now updated with a new chapter on the wedding and 15 wedding photographs. Theirs was destined from the start to be one of the most celebrated unions of the twenty-first century: he, the charismatic prince who would someday be crowned king of England; she, the stunningly beautiful commoner who won his heart. Prince William and Kate Middleton defied all odds to forge a storybook romance amid the scandals, power struggles, tragedies, and general dysfunction that are the hallmarks of Britain’s Royal Family. In the process, they became the most written about, gossiped about, admired, and envied young couple of their generation. Yet for most of their nearly decade-long affair, William and Kate have remained famously quiet and kept their royal relationship a tantalizing mystery. Now, journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen reveals the intimate details of their celebrated courtship and offers a mesmerizing glimpse of the man and wife—and future king and queen—they will become: · William’s lifelong role as confidant and adviser to his fragile mother, and how it has shaped his relationship with Kate · The lengths the couple went to to keep their affair secret, from their first days together as university students (when he cheered her on as she modeled racy lingerie at a fashion show) · William’s romantic conquests before—and during—his decade-long romance with Kate · The person who was really behind their headlinemaking breakup—and how Kate won back her prince · The shocking sex-and-drugs scandals involving Kate’s wild relatives, and how the would-be queen survived them · The long-troubling influence of William’s substance-abusing aristocrat friends and the depression Kate rescued him from · Stunning new information on the threats to both their lives, the nightmare scenario that haunts William’s dreams to this day, and their narrow escape from repeating Diana’s fate · Surprising details on the Queen’s historic plans for William and Kate, which will forever change the face of the monarchy For many, William and Kate’s union represents an opportunity to recapture the magic—the compelling and complicated legacy—of his beloved mother Diana, Princess of Wales. Part glittering fairy tale, part searing family drama, part political potboiler, part heart-stopping cliff-hanger, theirs is, above all else, an affair to remember. ***Theirs is the story of two young people who found each other in college, came perilously close to losing what they had forever, and pulled back from the brink at the last possible moment. Theirs is the story of private moments stolen for public consumption, of harrowing car chases, of scorching personal dramas played out behind the scenes, of calm heads prevailing in times of panic, and of a singular devotion made stronger by time. The saga of William and Kate is one thing above all else: a love story. —From William and Kate: A Royal Love Story

Game of Crowns
by Christopher Andersen

The British monarchy has drawn together three very different women: one, the most famous head of state on earth; another, a second wife many thought a poor substitute for Diana; and the youngest, a beautiful commoner trying to maintain her 21st-century identity in the face of immense historical pressure. Sure, there are princes here too, but this one’s for the ladies. (Plus, it’ll also tide you over till the next season of The Crown!)

Game of Crowns
Christopher Andersen

A moving and compulsively readable look into the lives, loves, relationships, and rivalries among the three women at the heart of the British royal family today: Queen Elizabeth II, Camilla Parker-Bowles, and Kate Middleton—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Good Son, These Few Precious Days, and The Day Diana Died.One has been famous longer than anyone on the planet—a dutiful daughter, a frustrated mother, a doting grandmother, a steel-willed taskmaster, a wily stateswoman, an enduring symbol of an institution that has lasted a thousand years, and a global icon who has not only been an eyewitness to history but a part of it. One is the great-granddaughter of a King’s mistress and one of the most famous “other women” of the modern age—a woman who somehow survived a firestorm of scorn to ultimately marry the love of her life, and in the process replace her arch rival, one of the most beloved figures of the twentieth century. One is a beautiful commoner, the university-educated daughter of a flight attendant-turned-millionaire entrepreneur, a fashion scion the equal of her adored mother-in-law, and the first woman since King George V’s wife, Queen Mary, to lay claim to being the daughter-in-law of one future king, the wife another, and the mother of yet another. Game of Crowns is an in-depth and exquisitely researched exploration of the lives of these three remarkable women and the striking and sometimes subtle ways in which their lives intersect and intertwine. Examining their surprising similarities and stark differences, Andersen travels beyond the royal palace walls to illustrate who these three women really are today—and how they will directly reshape the landscape of the monarchy.
