In a captivating historical debut reminiscent of The Crown, the daughter of an impoverished noble finds herself swept into the glamorous world of the royal family and the fast-living friends of Princess Margaret. Appointed as Margaret's second Lady-in-Waiting, she experiences the allure of fame and notoriety firsthand.

Diana, Catherine, and Meghan may have captivated the world, but Princess Margaret outshone them all. Emerging into post-World War II society, she was a captivating figure, known for her naughty and haughty nature. Georgie Blalock vividly captures the fascinating life of the princess and her close-knit circle of friends, known as the Margaret Set.

In the dreary post-war Britain, Princess Margaret captivates with her avant-garde fashion sense and sharp wit. The royal socialite, with a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other, shines among her glittering entourage of wealthy young aristocrats, the Margaret Set. However, her extravagant lifestyle clashes with her position as Queen Elizabeth's younger sister. Can she balance being a dutiful princess with her desire to dazzle the world on her own terms?

The Honorable Vera Strathmore finds herself in a less glamorous post-war Britain. While penning scandalous novels, she yearns for a life in New York and the happiness she once had before her fiancé's death in the war. A chance encounter with Princess Margaret sets her life on a new course. Vera's wit and charm amuse Margaret, and she quickly gains the princess's trust and the prestigious position of second lady-in-waiting.

Thrust into the center of Margaret's social and royal life, Vera witnesses the unfolding love affair between Margaret and Captain Peter Townsend. However, as a member of the Royal Family, Margaret is not free to pursue her desires. The princess must navigate the complexities of royal life, balancing her responsibilities with her personal aspirations.

Through the eyes of Vera, Blalock offers a captivating glimpse into the life of Princess Margaret and the intriguing world of the Margaret Set. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the clash between tradition and modernity, offering a fascinating portrayal of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on British history.
