Georgie is thrilled to celebrate her first Christmas as a married woman in her charming new home. She proposes a cozy house party with her husband, Darcy, but their plans shift dramatically when Darcy receives a letter from his aunt Ermintrude. She has relocated to a house near the Sandringham estate and wishes to host them for Christmas, hinting that the queen desires Georgie’s presence. Unbeknownst to Georgie, Aunt Ermintrude is a former lady-in-waiting and close confidante of the queen, making the invitation feel almost like a royal summons. Consequently, Georgie, Darcy, and their guests—Mummy, Grandad, Fig, and Binky—head to Sandringham. Upon arrival, Georgie discovers that Mrs. Simpson, the mistress of the Prince of Wales, will also be there, leading her to realize that the queen expects her to gather intelligence. Tension mounts as Georgie visits the queen and learns that her task involves more than mere eavesdropping; there have been mysterious accidents at the estate, including the deaths of two royal household members and a hunting mishap. Georgie suspects a royal family member may be the real target, but her investigation risks putting Darcy, the love of her life, in the sights of a potential killer.
