Part 1: Meet The Characters Of Her Royal Highness
Millie Quint
Millie Quint may be the one with an informal “Her Royal Highness” title in this novel. However, her reputation in the boarding school is because of her dominant and brooding nature. Some girls in her boarding school are more feminine than her, including Flora, the girl whom she loves.
Such things in Her Royal Highness novel lead Millie to take on the male role in the relationship. As with other GxG novels, I see Millie has so many deep and romantic moments with Flora and shares so many such quotes throughout the chapters.
Flora
Flora is the real “Her Royal Highness” in the novel. If people are referring to Millie as the princess, it’s because she is a dominant and popular person. The same doesn’t apply to Flora, though – she is a quiet, demure, classy, and high-key person, which leads Millie to believe that Flora is the princess a.k.a. the female in the relationship.
Millie first met her when she became her roommate in the boarding school. Soon, the two begin to develop romantic feelings for each other. Millie often mentions in one part of the Her Royal Highness book that it is the first time she to fall in love with a princess.
Part 2: Story Of Her Royal Highness
Her Royal Highness book’s story is all about Millie Quint, a Texas girl who thinks she has the most luck in getting other girls to love her. She continues to have such perspectives until a girl who is almost becoming her girlfriend betrays her by kissing another person in front of her. From here, Millie becomes so devastated and desperate to end her misery.
So, Millie decides to go against the odds by applying for a boarding school scholarship, with the thought of going as far away from her ex as she can. In Her Royal Highness, Millie finally gets accepted into an elite college in Gregorstoun, Scotland. There, she gets a roommate named Flora, who is the princess of the college.
Flora doesn’t only act like a diva princess with her spoiled, self-centered, classy, quiet, demure, and distant attitude, as well as her tendencies to create chaos everywhere she goes. Instead, she is also the actual Her Royal Highness a.k.a. the Princess of Scotland. Having such a roommate, Millie wonders how can she get close to the princess.
The romance story between Millie and Flora in Her Royal Highness novel starts with Millie comparing her condition with Flora’s.
Millie thinks romancing Flora would be a difficult thing for her since Flora is surrounded by a royal family whom she fears. After all, she’s just a girl coming from the countryside of America, and adjusting her lifestyle with Flora’s is also not an easy-peasy matter, either.
Still, Millie doesn’t give up. Eventually, the two girls in Her Royal Highness novel fall in love with each other And it all happens through a series of slow-burn romance scenes.

Part 3: Meet The Author Of Her Royal Highness
Unlike other famous authors who write their bio on the platforms where they publish their writing pieces, Rachel Hawkins, the author of Her Royal Highness novel, is different. Yet, it doesn’t mean that Rachel never communicates with her readers on the platforms.
When I look at the platforms where Rachel publishes Her Royal Highness and other novels and series, I see Rachel frequently giving constructive comments and feedback to other authors.
She is also active in the forum, and we can feel her enthusiastic and high-spirited energy throughout her comments. I see this one as a special thing for Rachel; after all, writers and novelists don’t tend to have that much energy.
Her Royal Highness itself isn’t the only novel that Rachel Hawkins has written. As an author who has established her writing presence since 2008, Rachel has authored many other books. In particular, she is a specialist in writing romance books. Sometimes, she would also write darker-themed books, such as books about paranormal activities, fantasy, and so on.
Even so, Her Royal Highness has already got a fantasy theme in the title. Even though the MCs and the settings are so humane, there are royalties and princesses as the elements in the story, which are close to the fantasy themes.
