Summary:
"Marion Crawford can remember each of the wonderful sixteen years when she was
governess
to the little Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. Marion had been a vital part of their lives; someone they confided in, needed, trusted, and loved. These memories will never dim, ever. In her mind, she will always be their Crawfie. But things become increasingly complicated as the young royals navigate adulthood. It is May 1945, and Princess Elizabeth-the heiress presumptive to the British throne-has fallen in love, and the only member of her family who is happy for her is her
governess
. No one in the young princess's 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. Crawfie wholeheartedly supports Elizabeth in her determination to marry Philip. She too has fallen in love-and has convinced her fiancée, George, that they must wait for Elizabeth and Philip to receive the King'
s
blessing before she can leave her
service
to the Crown. Over the next two years, Crawfie is caught between loyalty to Princess Elizabeth; running the risk of alienating her
royal
employer,
Queen
Elizabeth; and losing the man she loves. But as Crawfie prevails to marry George and stands with him in Westminster Abbey on Elizabeth and Philip'
s
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"--From publisher.
