Princesses Behaving Badly

Stretching a bit with some of these “princesses”... Overall pretty interesting.

Not quite ladies. An interesting glimpse into the lives of some of the royal women in history. From ancient, to current, these women forgo the dainty and proper manners of their counterparts. Although the book itself had some interesting tid-bits, I found myself annoyed with some of the stories. It seems as though some of them could have been more of a paragraph, rather than drawn out, and it seemed as though they repeated themselves at times, just using different wording.But I pushed through the irritant, and finished the entire thing. While some of the women were known to me, there were some in there that I had never heard of.This would be a fun, in the car read, while you have some time to kill!

Update: While there has already been an edition published, check out the new edition coming in March for even more misbehaved royals!

I did not like this. A lot of these were based on rumors, were super short, and gave the surface levels o what actually happened.

What an interesting collection. This collection of stories has just enough about each story to make it distinct in the narration. So many princesses, not being “story book” princesses. Big takeaway: princesses are people.

This book is perfect for when you want light historical stories of interest. The short stories makes perfect bite sized reading or listening.
