The book recounts Topham's experiences as the English governess to Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, who is the daughter of the German Emperor. Through her eyes, readers get a vivid portrayal of royal life in Germany, highlighting the complexities and quirks of court etiquette, the personalities of royal family members, and the juxtaposition of Topham's British sensibilities with the customs of the Prussian court. At the start of the narrative, Topham describes her arrival at the Prussian court in Homburg in 1902, characterized by chaotic travel and cultural adjustments. Initially overwhelmed by the court's grandeur yet accompanied by practical difficulties, she recounts the awkwardness of her formal introductions, including a dinner with the Empress. Topham captures her early impressions of the royal family, especially the spirited young Princess Victoria Louise and her exuberant antics. The opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of court life, revealing the contrast between the children’s playful innocence and the formalities demanded within the royal household.
