First and foremost was the way the author imagined Charlotte.

Having said that, I can appreciate the novel for quite a few reasons. I didn't not like THE ROYAL NANNY, but I didn't love it either. That meant that Charlotte chose to put the family first over her own desire to be a wife and a mother. Keep in mind she was preparing the future kings of England and she took her job very seriously. The children's parents weren't exactly hands on, and Charlotte had to provide love, support, discipline, and more. In 1897, she joined the British royal family as their nanny and decided to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of the children. THE ROYAL NANNY is actually based on a real character named Charlotte Bill, known to the royals as LaLa. Everyone in my book club seemed to like this novel so it was interesting to see the book through their eyes. And that's exactly the case with THE ROYAL NANNY. One of the reasons I started a book club was the hope that it would push my to read novels outside of my comfort zone - or my normal reading fare. I just never would have picked it up in the first place - it wasn't my first or even second choice.Īnd that's the beauty of book clubs. It's not that there is anything wrong or inherently bad about this novel. I am pretty sure everyone in my book club enjoyed THE ROYAL NANNY more than I did. I wrote a brief recap of our meeting here but promised to share my thoughts at a later time. William MorrowĪ few weeks ago, my book club discussed THE ROYAL NANNY by Karen Harper. The Royal Nanny is a seamless blend of fact and fiction-an intensely intimate, yet epic tale spanning decades, continents, and divides that only love can cross. Young Prince John needs all of Lala’s love-the kind of love his parents won’t…or can’t…show him.įrom Britain’s old wealth to the glittering excesses of Tsarist Russia from country cottages to royal yachts, and from nursery to ballroom, Charlotte Bill witnesses history. LaLa knows only that these children, and the four who swiftly follow, need her steadfast loyalty and unconditional affection.īut the greatest impact on Charlotte’s life is made by a mere bud on the family tree: a misunderstood soul who will one day be known as the Lost Prince. Neither Charlotte-LaLa, as her charges dub her-nor anyone else can predict that eldest sons David and Bertie will each one day be king. So begins the unforgettable story of Charlotte Bill, who would care for a generation of royals as their parents never could. She is excited, exhausted-and about to meet royalty. Lets you know what your children are i.Summary: Based on a seldom-told true story, this novel is perfect for everyone who is fascinated by Britain’s royal family-a behind the scenes look into the nurseries of little princes and the foibles of big princes.Īpril, 1897: A young nanny arrives at Sandringham, ancestral estate of the Duke and Duchess of York. So if that was possible that would be awesome!!!!ĥ stars: This is an absolutely brilliant app! Provides a variety of tools for security and monitoring/tracking. Although now with all these social media sites I have found that they text through them so as far as messages go I don't really get to see that. I'm using it as a first time phone user to my child and making them prove to me that they can be responsible and trusted! I did make him aware it was on his phone as well as what I could see. i am disappointed its not available on Amazonĥ stars: So far I love this app.
