Marion Crawford reflects on her cherished sixteen years as the governess to Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, a role that made her an integral part of their lives. As they grow into adulthood, complications arise. In May 1945, Princess Elizabeth has fallen in love, but her family disapproves of Prince Philip of Greece as a suitable match. The only supporter of Elizabeth's feelings is Crawfie, who passionately backs her desire to marry Philip. Meanwhile, Crawfie is also in love with her fiancé, George, and has convinced him to wait for the royal couple to receive the King’s blessing before she leaves her position. Over the next two years, Crawfie finds herself torn between her loyalty to Elizabeth and the risk of alienating Queen Elizabeth, all while facing the potential loss of George. On the day of Elizabeth and Philip's wedding, Crawfie stands proudly with George at Westminster Abbey, unaware that her relationship with the royal family is about to face a significant betrayal that will change everything.
