Acerca de esta escucha
Based on a seldom-told true story, this novel is perfect for everyone who is fascinated by Britain’s royal family - a behind the scenes look into the nurseries of little princes and the foibles of big princes.
April 1897: A young nanny arrives at Sandringham, ancestral estate of the Duke and Duchess of York. She is excited, exhausted - and about to meet royalty....
So begins the unforgettable story of Charlotte Bill, who would care for a generation of royals as their parents never could. Neither Charlotte - LaLa, as her charges dub her - nor anyone else can predict that eldest sons David and Bertie will each one day be king. LaLa knows only that these children, and the four who swiftly follow, need her steadfast loyalty and unconditional affection.
But the greatest impact on Charlotte’s life is made by a mere bud on the family tree: a misunderstood soul who will one day be known as the Lost Prince. Young Prince John needs all of Lala’s love - the kind of love his parents won’t...or can’t...show him.
From Britain’s old wealth to the glittering excesses of Tsarist Russia; from country cottages to royal yachts, and from nursery to ballroom, Charlotte Bill witnesses history. The Royal Nanny is a seamless blend of fact and fiction - an intensely intimate, yet epic tale spanning decades, continents, and divides that only love can cross.

It is May 1945, and Princess Elizabeth - the heiress presumptive to the British throne - has fallen in love, and the only member of her family who is happy for her is her governess.

Historia
Early in the Great War, men left Britain’s factories in droves to enlist. Struggling to keep up production, arsenals hired women to build the weapons the military urgently needed. “Be the Girl Behind the Man Behind the Gun,” the recruitment posters beckoned. Thousands of women—cooks, maids, shopgirls, and housewives—answered their nation’s call. These “munitionettes” worked grueling shifts often seven days a week, handling TNT and other explosives with little protective gear.

Absolutely wonderful
The only thing I didn’t like about this book is that it ended. Start to finish could not wait to get back to where I could listen some more.

Worth The Listen!
I saw this book as the daily deal and thought the sample narration sounded pretty good! Thank goodness I was not disappointed. She performed it so well, with lots of different emotions and honestly sounded like you might picture a royal nanny speaking. My only complaint would simply be that she did talk kind of slow, so I just bumped up the speed a bit. Great character development across the board, and a story that leaves you wanting more. 👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent
I enjoyed learning a bit more of the British Royal line, and the fact that this book has the family member Johnny. “the missing brother”. It is interesting to read about what todays doctors think/read into what the doctors said about Johnny back then, and a possible diagnosis for him, Other mentions of disability and the Royal families in this book, is refreshing,

Good listen
Great story if you like behind the scenes of the royals. The perspective of the royal nanny was interesting. The narrator fit well with the main character.

Good story - Well written characters
While the author told an interesting story, and I enjoyed the historical background and characters, overall I found the story sad. I think I may just have a low tolerance for this. I could see from ratings, this was one of her best works. And while I am always on the look out for new writers, I don't know if I will try another one of her books/ audiobooks.

This book was a great mix of history and fiction. The pace was great and I enjoyed the narrator. I’ve always been fascinated by the British Royals, which drew me to this book. I enjoyed fact checking along the way and learned some new facts!

Quite True
So much of this is quite true. I remember once hearing about the royal nanny, LaLa and how loved she was. I never thought about hearing her story and now I’m glad I have. I wish her personal life might have been happier but she felt her life was rewarding, so there it is. This was told with much decorum and performed perfectly. It was a good read.

It was an interesting perspective
I like the books about that era and I had never read any from the perspective of the nanny. I liked the little love story and I was invested enough in the character to drop a few little tears. Thankful for the story for being better than just keeping my attention. I think it would make a great movie!
