H.R.H.

Royal Duties and Hidden Yearnings

H.R.H. follows Heloise, the spirited young Princess of Aquitaine, who has spent her life under the watchful eye of courtiers and the cloak of royal obligation. Raised in the gilded halls of Versailles, she has mastered every courtly grace—yet her heart longs for a life beyond protocol. When her diplomatic tour brings her to New York City, Heloise trades tiaras for city lights and finds herself fascinated by the vibrant world beyond palace gates. In the glittering ballrooms and smoky jazz clubs of Manhattan, she dares to dream of a love unbound by rank, where her only title is “herself.”

Scandals in the Palace Walls

Back in Europe, the rumor mill churns: whispers of a princess who dines incognito in diners and waltzes under streetlamps with a charming stranger. As press photographers stalk her every step and palace advisors plot to rein her in, Heloise’s secret affair with Jack Everett—a bold, idealistic journalist—threatens to ignite an international scandal. Torn between loyalty to her lineage and the intoxicating pull of genuine emotion, she must decide whether to obey centuries of tradition or defy her lineage to follow her heart.

Love’s Courageous Rebellion

In a breathtaking climax set against the backdrop of a state banquet gone awry, Heloise confronts the ultimate choice: uphold the unyielding code of royalty or risk everything for a love that promises freedom. From clandestine midnight rendezvous on the Hudson River promenade to whispered confessions in opulent palace corridors, Danielle Steel weaves a compelling tale of courage, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love. H.R.H. is a captivating exploration of what it means to wear a crown—and how true sovereignty lies in the sovereignty of the heart.
