Editorial Review from Product Description:
In a novel where ancient traditions conflict with reality and the pressures of modern life, a young European princess proves that simplicity, courage, and dignity win the day and forever alter her world.brbrIn blue jeans and a pullover, Princess Christianna is a young woman of her times: born in Europe, educated in America, worried about the future of the world she lives in, responsible beyond her years. Christianna is the only daughter of the Reigning Prince of a European nation that takes its royalty seriously?and her father has ironclad plans for Christianna?s life, a burden that is almost unbearable.brbrNow, after four years at Berkeley, life in her father?s palace cannot distract Christianna from what she sees outside the kingdom?the suffering of children, the ravages of terrorism and disease. Determined to make a difference in the world, she persuades His Royal Highness, her father, to let her volunteer for the Red Cross in East Africa. And for Christianna, a journey of discovery, change, and awakening begins.brbrUnder a searing East African sun, Christianna plunges into the dusty, bustling life of an international relief camp, finding a passion and a calling among the brave doctors and volunteers. Finally free from the scrutiny of her royal life, Christianna struggles to keep her identity a secret from her new friends and coworkers?even from Parker Williams, the young doctor from Doctors Without Borders who works alongside Christianna and shares her dedication to healing. But as violence approaches and invades the camp, and the pressures of her royal life beckon her home, Christianna?s struggle for freedom takes an extraordinary turn. By a simple twist of fate, in one shocking moment, Christianna?s life is changed forever?in ways she never could have foreseen.brbrFrom the splendor of a prince?s palace to the chaos of war-torn nations, Danielle Steel takes us into fascinating new worlds. Filled with unforgettable images and a remarkable cast of characters, bH.R.H./b is a novel of the conflict between old and new worlds, responsibility versus freedom, and duty versus love.

Princess Christianna of Liechtenstein was a beautiful, but sheltered daughter of a dominate King who was used to getting his own way. After she graduated from college in the United States, she didn't want to return to her country to perform meaningless princess duties as her father wanted. She wanted to make a difference and use her position and education to help others. She got the chance when her father weakened his grip and allowed her to volunteer for the Red Cross in East Africa if she went incognito with body guards. While she was there, she met and fell in love with an American Doctor who was on a brief assignment. None of the volunteers knew she was a Princess, including the doctor, until one day, the secret got out. By then it was too late, the couple was already in love. When he found out, her father forbids her to marry a commoner even though he was a well-educated and handsome physician. Through a series of unforeseen events, Christianna and the doctor did get-together and lived happily ever after. A fairy-tale Danielle Steel novel!
