You will get to know about royal life of that time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by S***I on 16 November 2025* Good print and a very insightful read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flawed yet good *by S***A on 15 April 2017* Although the book is a wonderful engrossing read, one can't help notice that the sole purpose of maharani's life as well as most of the other women in the book, was to look good, dress up, wear jewellery and that's about it. The sense of entitlement with which these royal ladies went about their lives, spending summers in London, autumns in darjeeling and winters in ooty, is surprising. Many of the incidents described in the book, which the author considers her accomplishments, come across as childish histrionics especially her first hunting experience, her tryst with the parliament and 'eating caviar in tihar jail', is unintentionally silly. And perhaps that's why, towards the end of the book, when the author unleashes her wrath on indira Gandhi in full fury, one can't help but think of indira as the stronger and tougher woman with far more gumption. Equally beautiful and born in an equally illustrious family, Mrs Gandhi worked very hard and made many sacrifices to reach the top position and be a role model to generations of Indian girls, while the author herself stayed content being the daughter and then the wife of royal people and did little to break barriers. Anyway, it's still a fabulous read and I highly recommend it. And may I add, very prompt delivery by amazon as usual:-)) ## Frequently Bought Together - A PRINCESS REMEMBERS - Snobs: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/76467959-a-princess-remembers-memoirs-of-the-maharani-of-jaipur](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/76467959-a-princess-remembers-memoirs-of-the-maharani-of-jaipur) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
