Summary:

Ruled by responsibility, forbidden from marrying for true love... royal love stories are often far removed from fairy tale romances of children's storybooks. In Royal Love Stories the true tales of royal affairs of the heart are laid bare.Yet royal couples could fall in love, and this book is full of surprises, from the'undying love' that the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, felt for his Tsarina, to the unlikely love that flourished between Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Amongst them, too, are less happy loves - of Crown Prince Rudolph for his 17-year-old lover, Countess Mary Vetsera
