Book Description:
Princess Christianna is a young woman of her times: born in Europe, educated in America, worried about the future of the world she lives in, responsible beyond her years. She is the only daughter of the Reigning Prince of a European nation that takes its royalty seriously--and her father has ironclad plans for her life, a burden which for her is almost unbearable.
Now after 4 yrs. at Berkeley, life in her father's palace cannot distract her from what she see outside the kingdon--the suffering of children, the ravages of terrorism and disease. Determined to make a difference in the world, she persuades her father to let her volunteer for the Red Cross in E. Africa. Here she finds a passion and a calling. Finally free from the scrutiny of her royal life, she struggles to keep her identity a secret from her new friends, including Parker Williams, a doctor. In one shocking moment, her life is changed forever.

Princess Christianna is a young girl who has just returned from college in the States. Now she feels stifled and bored with her 'real' life in her small country. After a life altering experience in Russia, she convinces her Father to let her go to East Africa as a volunteer for the Red Cross. That is when her life begins . . . .

Princess fell in love with a 'commoner' - fights all odds to marry him despite royal tradition!
Slow at first - but enjoyed the book!

Although most little girls dream of being a princess, the reality of a royal's life isn't all beautiful gowns and fawning men. The life can be especially confining for a woman who wishes to make a difference in the world, rather than being a pretty face in the background. In H.R.H., Danielle Steel takes us inside the life of an American-educated princess as she takes a few weeks out of her "regular" life to work along side social workers in Africa, posing as a commoner.

Entertaining, but a typical D.S. novel.

I bought this book on the plot-line alone. I was disappointed because the writing style was very repetitive, and the ending of the book a little too easy.
Cammie O. (I loved the story. The ending was not what I expected and I had a hard time putting it down. While everyone else was enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, I was enjoying a great story.
Another bestseller by Danielle Steel. Book gives an insight of how life might be like for royal family members.
This book is about a girl Christanna who is a princess in a foreign country and she goes to Africa to work with the Red Cross and meets a Doctor from America and falls in love with him and wants to marry him but knows that she can't because he is not Royalty.
Debra L. (Book started out really slow but all in all a very good book.
This book had too much exposition in the beginning and the Poor Princess routine was quite unbelieveable. However; when the plot started rolling, the book became tolerable and almost enjoyable. The ending was entirely too predictable.
