Clare McHugh
I love history, and writing historical fiction gives me an excuse to learn all I can about long-dead people and the scandals, dramas, and romances they became entangled in. I'm interested, too, in how things that happened in the past echo in the current day. American actress Meghan Markle and Vicky, Queen Victoria's daughter could NOT be more different. But they both were subject to ferocious criticism in their adopted countries.

Hi Clare. I've just started reading A Most English Princess. I'm loving it so far, especially looking into Vicky's relationships with her family, especially Prince Albert. I also love the emphasis on German unification. Did you have the story set before you started doing research? Or did the research lead to the story?

Hi, is your book a good fit for 13 year old girls interested in learning to write fiction? My 7th grade daughter and a friend are each trying to write fiction. I'm giving your book to my adult daughter but wondered if it was also okay for a young teen. They enjoy historical fiction. Thanks
