But that’s what you want from a romance… and ‘ Her Royal Highness’ delivers. I would have liked to see a bit more complexity in the plot, it did feel a little simplistic, but I guess that it fits in with the demographic for ‘ Her Royal Highness.’ This is very predictable, like every rom-com involving a prince or princess, but with a female/female romance.
Such a cute premise for a story, and I ate it up. It’s then Millie realises she has nothing holding her back and goes ahead with an application to a Scotland boarding school… where she gets an upstart of a roommate. Bumping into her later, reunited with her ex-boyfriend (and Millie’s best friend). Protagonist Millie, a studious, slightly awkward and budding geologist identifying as bisexual gets ghosted by her girlfriend. But ‘ Her Royal Highness’ managed to raise back up to the standard I’ve come to expect from her. I knew I would get an entertaining read, though I must admit ‘ Royals’ (or ‘ Prince Charming’ as it’s been newly re-packaged & published) wasn’t the usual fare I’m used to from Hawkins. Even though Princess Flora could be a new chapter in her love life, Millie knows the chances of happily ever afters are slim.
Of Scotland.Īt first, the girls can barely stand each other–Flora is both high-class and high-key–but before Millie knows it, she has another sort-of-best-friend/sort-of-girlfriend.
The only problem: Mille’s roommate Flora is a total princess. Everything about Scotland is different: the country is misty and green the school is gorgeous, and the students think Americans are cute.
Millie can’t believe her luck when she’s accepted into one of the world’s most exclusive schools, located in the rolling highlands of Scotland. And because Millie cannot stand the thought of confronting her ex every day, she decides to apply for scholarships to boarding schools. Millie Quint is devastated when she discovers that her sort-of-best friend/sort-of-girlfriend has been kissing someone else.
