⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A young Queen. Two sisters. A voyage that will
change their fates forever. Nineteen-year-old identical twins
Violet and Daisie Chettle can hardly believe their luck when they
are recruited as maids on newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II’s
royal ship. It’s just the ticket they need away from cold, grey
London and the tension that’s been brewing at home since the
tragic loss of their parents. But the 1954 royal tour to Australia,
is a far cry from the glitz and glamour they had imagined. Life
below deck is hard-work, and whilst Violet is prepared to keep her
head down and be seen and not heard, Daisie has her sights on doing
everything she can to hang up her apron and mingle above deck –
even if it means leaving Violet behind. But as Daisie begins to win
royal favour, she receives a letter from London. The sisters
can’t outrun their past any longer… Violet has committed an
unspeakable act of betrayal that will change their relationship
forever. With their positions on the tour hanging in the balance,
have the sisters ventured too far from home to ever find their way
back? Set against the stunning backdrop of Queen Elizabeth’s
first royal tour with Prince Phillip prepare to be swept away with
this upstairs-downstairs drama, perfect for fans of The Crown and
