Excellent- More about An Indiscreet Princess: A Novel of Queen Victoria's Defiant Daughter
Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, defied expectations by attending the National Art Training School and falling in love with Joseph Edgar Boehm. Despite her desire for an unconventional life, she agreed to marry the Duke of Argyll and played her public role perfectly. However, a near-fatal accident forced her back under her mother's rule, and she had to choose between giving in to grief or fighting for her unconventional life.

Before Princess Margaret, before Duchess Meghan, there was Princess Louise: royal rebel.
As the fourth daughter of the perpetually in-mourning Queen Victoria, Princess Louise's life is more a gilded prison than a fairy tale. Expected to sit quietly next to her mother with down-cast eyes, Louise vows to escape the stultifying royal court. Blessed with beauty, artistic talent, and a common touch, she creates a life outside the walled-in existence of the palace grounds by attending the National Art Training School—where she shockingly learns to sculpt nude models while falling passionately in love with famed sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm.
But even as Louise cultivates a life outside the palace, she is constantly reminded that even royal rebels must heed the call of duty—and for a princess, that means marriage. Refusing to leave England, she agrees to a match with the Duke of Argyll, and although her heart belongs to another, she is determined to act out her public role perfectly, even if her private life teeters on the brink of scandal. But when a near fatal accident forces Louise back under her mother's iron rule, she realizes she must choose: give in to the grief of lost love or find the strength to fight for her unconventional life.
Louise's life is a testament to the power of determination and the courage to follow one's heart, even in the face of societal expectations. Her story reminds us that true love and personal fulfillment are worth fighting for, even in the most challenging circumstances.
