Blog Tour for THE ROYAL WINDSOR SECRET by Christine Wells

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Royal Windsor Secret
A Novel

Could she be the secret daughter of the Prince of Wales? In this dazzling novel by the author of
Sisters of the Resistance, a young woman seeks to discover the truth about her mysterious
past. Perfect for readers of Shana Abe, Bryn Turnbull, and Marie Benedict.
Cleo Davenport has heard the whispers: the murmured conversations that end abruptly the second
she walks into a room. Told she was an orphan, she knows the rumor—that her father is none other
than the Prince of Wales, heir to the British throne. And at her childhood home at Cairo’s Shepheard’s
Hotel, where royals, rulers, and the wealthy live, they even called her “The Princess.”
But her life is turned upside down when she turns seventeen. Sent to London under the chaperonage
of her very proper aunt, she’s told it’s time to learn manners and make her debut. But Cleo’s life can’t
be confined to a ballroom. She longs for independence and a career as a jewelry designer for Cartier,
but she cannot move forward until she finds out about her past.
Determined to unlock the truth, Cleo travels from London, back to Cairo, and then Paris, where her
investigations take a shocking turn into the world of the Parisian demi-monde, and a high-class
courtesan whose scandalous affair with the young Prince of Wales threatened to bring down the
British monarchy long before anyone had heard of Wallis Simpson.

MY THOUGHTS

I am a lover of historical fiction. I love reading it for what I can learn from it as much of it is written based on facts. I have learned so much about life in the past. The author makes the past come vividly alive for me as I read The Royal Windsor Secret. I could perfectly see the book being played out in my mind as it happened. Full of glamour and glitz and scandal. A young woman, known as “The Princess” growing up, told she was an orphan. She grew up in the Cairo’s Shepheard’s Hotel. She’s heard the whispers that end abruptly when she enters the room. A possible secret love child of the Prince of Wales heir to the throne, is it true what they say? The excitement of traveling to Cario, Paris & England, this willful young woman does it all. Diamonds, luxury, scandal, drama and that shocking surprise twist at the end. This book makes for a very intriguing read. I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
