The Secret Guests

I have to admit, I wasn't delighted and charmed by this one like I thought I would be. The premise sounded good: during World War II, the King and Queen of England spirit the princesses off to Ireland where they will be (supposedly) safer than London. The girls are accompanied by a few bodyguards and police are monitoring the estate where they are staying. I'm not sure what I didn't like about it, to be honest. It didn't seem terribly well fleshed out, none of the characters (except for Princess Margaret) were fully developed and interesting. There was some sort of IRA plot I didn't really follow.
It probably wasn't the author's fault. I think I just wasn't in the mood for this one.
