About this listen

A princess enslaved becomes goddaughter to a queen.

By the time she was seven years old, Aina had been born into life as an Egbado princess, witnessed the brutal killing of her entire family, and been enslaved to a rival chieftain. With a death sentence hanging over her head, she would also face being bartered as an exotic trophy, renamed and presented to the distant Queen Victoria as a 'gift'.

From these traumatic beginnings, Sarah Forbes Bonetta's will to survive led her to negotiate Her Majesty's court, friends in high places and to flourish in a world far removed from her rural African upbringing.

From West Africa to Windsor Castle, The Other Princess is a vivid imagining of the life of Queen Victoria's Black goddaughter, shining a light on a woman searching for home, love and identity.

“A poignant intimate portrait of the extraordinary life of Sarah Forbes Bonetta…. brimming with richly detailed history.” - Chanel Cleeton, NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author of The Cuban Heiress

“Intricately researched and written with vivid detail, The Other Princess is a powerful, sweeping saga of resilience, of a young princess ripped from all she knows and thrust into a world not of her choosing. A must read!” - Eliza Knight, USA Today and international bestselling author of Starring Adele Astaire
