Excellent- More about James the Third
James the Third tells the story of the Duke of York's unexpected rise to King George VI in 1936 and his ten-year-old daughter, Princess Elizabeth, becoming heir presumptive. However, she was never heir apparent due to a male sibling automatically assuming her place in the line of succession. After King George VI's death in 1952, the United Kingdom's next sovereign would have been a young boy in need of a regent. James the Third is clever, resourceful, and unconventional, but can he alter the course of history given the limited role of a constitutional monarch? He finds true love, or must he accept second best? The book also follows two working-class sisters from the East End of London who are fans of the royal family and are closer to the crown than they could ever imagine.
