In "The Royal Windsor Secret," Christine Wells ties together fictional characters with real figures from history and notable royal family gossip. Raised in Cairo by her guardian, Cleo wants nothing more than to become a jewelry designer, even when family friends bring her to London to come out into society. Her life is followed by one specific, potentially life-changing rumor: that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Prince of Wales. As Cleo struggles to figure out her own identity and future over the course of several years, her life intersects with that of an ambitious, take-no-prisoners courtesan who may hold the key to her past — or who may be lying about everything.
