This biography chronicles the lives of the three Prussian princesses, Victoria, Sophie, and Margaret, sisters of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It explores their close relationships, particularly their support for their mother after her widowhood, while navigating their own personal struggles and historical events.

Victoria's thwarted romance and subsequent marriages lead to unexpected hardship. Sophie becomes Queen of Greece, enduring a tumultuous reign marked by exile. Margaret's alliance with a prince of Hesse-Cassel sees her family entangled with the Nazi party and ultimately become victims of wartime theft.

Based on previously unpublished sources, this book offers the first comprehensive account of these princesses' lives, revealing their joys, sorrows, and resilience amidst the shifting landscapes of European royalty and politics. It's a window into a world of privilege, duty, and the enduring bonds of sisterhood.
