This is the unforgettable story of a charming, fun loving and frivolous young girl, destined for greatness, coming to age in one of the most magnificent and opulent courts that the world has ever seen. This book for young adult readers follows her privileged childhood and adolescence in the beautiful palaces of Vienna as the youngest and least important of the daughters of the all powerful Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and invites the reader to share the long journey, both emotional and physical that ended with her marriage to the Dauphin Louis of France at Versailles. The dramatic and often tragic years of Marie Antoinette’s early life, told in her own words. 'It really made me realise that being a Princess was not such a fairy tale.' This story sticks very close to canon with the exceptions of necessary deviations for story advancement. 'What does it feel like to grow up in a royal palace, to be forever aware that so much is expected of you, to be married at 14 years old to a boy prince, potential King of France, whom you've never even met? Melanie Clegg's book answers these questions and so many more by creating in her Marie Antoinette a solid, engaging and entirely believable character.'

She also appeared in the CBS series, Happy Together. in 2019 List received positive praise from the media for her character portrayal of 'Tory' in the Karate Kid spin-off series, Cobra Kai.

It completely drew me in and I read it in one sitting.’ Unputdownable – the passion of the author for her subject material is compelling and touching, and makes for an emotional read.

I found the Diaries to be a witty and thoroughly enjoyable read. It is the story of a ‘corporate princess’ who after suddenly losing her job, journeys into the unknown territory of starting her own small business. I could delve into a character like Elizabeth Tudor and try and imagine how she would feel when her father often banished her from the court to live in a lonely castle with her governess. The Diaries of a Corporate Princess is a witty ‘page turner’ and a thoroughly enjoyable read. I would not give happily ever after endings when they did not really happen but I could interpret how that person might feel. And there was the added bonus since it was to be fiction I could fill in the gaps that history books and primary source material might leave out.
#The diarie of a princess series
These books were based on people who had really lived-Princesses like Elizabeth Tudor, Marie Antoinette, Mary Queen of Scots, but they kept fictional diaries.įor me both these series were the chance of a lifetime as a writer for it combined two things I love-history and doing research. The Royal Diaries were slightly different from the Dear America ones. With her friends Lilly and Michael Moscovitz in tow, she tries to navigate through the rest of her sixteenth year.
What was life like on the Mayflower? Did she find a best friend? What were the storms like? Did she throw up? Was she frightened? How did she feel in this new land? Mia Thermopolis has just found out that she is the heir apparent to the throne of Genovia. So I could try and imagine how a little pilgrim girl felt when she left to cross the Atlantic Ocean to come to America. In the Dear America series the diaries were based on fictional people who lived through significant events in American history. When my publisher came up with the idea for the Dear America and the Royal Diaries I was thrilled.
