Captive to the queens overwhelming mourning, Louise is forbidden to leave her mothers tight circle of control and is eventually relegated to the position of personal secretary to her motherthe same position each of her sisters held until they were married.
Already an accomplished painter, Louise risks the queens wrath by exploring the art of sculpting, an activity viewed as unbefitting a woman. When Louise involves herself in the days political matters, including championing the career of a female doctor and communicating with suffragettes, the queen lays down the law to stop her and devotes her full energy to finding an acceptable match for her defiant daughter.
Louise is considered the most beautiful and talented daughter of Queen Victoria, but finding a match for the princess is no easy feat. Protocols are broken, and Louise exerts her own will as she tries to find an open-minded husband who will support her free spirit.
