On 21 April 1926 three baby girls are born. Nell is born to a farm labourer's wife, Anna to rich and pampered Constance Radwell and in London Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Set in the hills of Wales and the rolling Norfolk countryside the story follows Nell and Anna through their wartime adolescence and into womanhood as they struggle to overcome their problems while watching "their" princess move towards her great destiny. Only when they finally meet do the two girls understand that each of them is 'someone special'.
