Cuatro damas de la realeza española: la reina Sofía, la infanta Elena, la infanta Cristina y la princesa de Asturias, doña Letizia. Cuatro mujeres con historias entrelazadas que reflejan una transición generacional dolorosa. Desde los valores aristocráticos del deber y sacrificio hasta una nueva era donde el amor y la felicidad personal emergen dentro de la realeza. Esta narración aborda la evolución de la familia real española y de otras dinastías europeas, donde plebeyos como Letizia Ortiz y Catalina Middleton han transformado la naturaleza de las monarquías. Andrew Morton, con su aguda perspicacia, examina si este cambio ha sido una maldición o un consuelo para familias reales enfrentadas a controversias constantes. El matrimonio del príncipe Felipe con Letizia marcó una revolución en el palacio, y en pocos años, ella se ha convertido en la potencial salvadora de la casa de Borbón, inmersa en escándalos. La vida y amores de estas cuatro damas revelan la evolución histórica de la familia real y de la nación española. Andrew Morton, reconocido biógrafo de celebridades, ha escrito más de veinte libros, incluyendo la famosa biografía de Diana de Gales, que transformó la percepción pública de la familia real británica y le valió numerosos premios.
