You think you know her story. You ve read the Brothers Grimm, you
ve watched the Disney cartoons, and you cheered as these virtuous
women lived happily ever after. But real princesses didn t always
get happy endings. Sure, plenty were graceful and benevolent
leaders, but just as many were ruthless in their quest for power
and all of them had skeletons rattling in their royal closets.
Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe was a Nazi spy. Empress Elisabeth
of the Austro-Hungarian empire slept wearing a mask of raw veal.
Princess Olga of Kiev slaughtered her way to sainthood while
Princess Lakshmibai waged war on the battlefield, charging into
combat with her toddler son strapped to her back. Princesses
Behaving Badly offers true tales of all these princesses and dozens
more in a fascinating read that s perfect for history buffs,
feminists, and anyone seeking a different kind of bedtime story.
