Summary: "Her Royal Highness: A Romance of the Chancelleries of Europe" by William Le Queux is a historical romance novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Egyptian landscape, it introduces a cosmopolitan blend of character types, centering on young people enjoying leisure time in a wealthy society, while hinting at underlying themes of political intrigue and personal secrets. The main characters include the charming French girl Lola Duprez, her uncle Jules Gigleux, and the British diplomat Hubert Waldron, whose relationships often reveal personal struggles that intertwine with the broader context of diplomacy and societal expectations. The opening portion of the novel immerses readers in the social life at the Cataract Hotel in Assouan, where English travelers congregate amidst luxury and leisure. A lively tea scene unfolds as four young travelers—Lola, Hubert, and two others—are introduced, along with their conversations reflecting a carefree spirit that contrasts with deeper tensions in their lives.
