Frankly, I couldn't finish this book. I managed to get about 130 pages into it, despite warring with myself to abandon it several times, and I finally put it down for good when I could stand it no longer. I read ALOT of books and I simply could not make myself read one more page of this drivel.
The story had potential and could have been good in the end, but I'll never find out because it was so poorly written. The words and thoughts are repetitive and much of the text is 'in the character's head' rather than having the story portrayed through dialogue and action. This translates to one huge yawn for the reader. I suppose if you're a die-hard Danielle Steele reader, you might stick it out and even enjoy it. But I've read too much really good fiction for this to hold my interest.

Princess fell in love with a 'commoner' - fights all odds to marry him despite royal tradition!

This is a story about a Princess who wants to help people and do something meaningful with her life. It is a nice story.
This was a great book. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down, I believe I finished it in 3 days.
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.
One of my favorite Danielle Steel books!
Great book if you like Danielle Steel,this is another great one by her...
It insults any woman with an iq to read this book...
I read this a few months ago, but I enjoyed it. I hadn't read a DS book in quite a few years. It was fairly typical, but it kept me interested.
I did not like this book very much at all. I have read Danielle Steele books before and enjoyed them. I would never say they are my favorites, but this one was long and boring. Thankfully I had it on audiobook, so I did no have to actually read it. I found myself not looking forward to listening to the next chapter. When it ended I was neither impressed or irritated. It was just blah.
Excellent story...a great read.
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.
Entertaining, but a typical D.S. novel.
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.
Book started out really slow but all in all a very good book.
Worst DS book I haver ever read!!! Boring. Whiney.
Unlike the other reviewers, I found the book quite charming. I enjoyed the read, it was entertaining nd heart warming to me. I love reading about forbidded love. The book was easy to follow for me and not boring at all. it kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know how it ends.
Wonderful book, I love it when Danielle Steel writes about "royalty". The only thing I didn't agree with is how Christianna went against her fathers wishes in the end. But she does end up happy, and wonderful journey throughout the book. Very good for Danielle Steel Fans. I read it in a few days.
Excellent book
great book
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.
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.
Good book, like they all are.
This was a typical Danielle Steel book.
I absolutely loved this book
Another bestseller by Danielle Steel. Book gives an insight of how life might be like for royal family members.
