Set in a fictional Eton College (Eades) where Princes William and Harry attended & the nearby St Mary’s Ascot School (St Augustine’s) attended by Princess Caroline of Monaco and which the author’s daughter was a pupil, Dumping Princes is the fourth book in the Calypso Chronicles series.

After four years as the school misfit, Calypso Kelly has finally thrown off her label of American Freak and joined the in-crowd: the daughters and sons of Britain and Europe’s Royals & Rock Stars.

In this bonkers world where everyone’s titled entitled or both, dorm raids, midnight feasts, illicit dashes to London nightclubs on the Sunningdale train and moonlit picnics in the infamous Pullers Woods that separates the two schools, the stakes are high.

While her friends spend their time posting YouTube clips and manipulating the media with social networking, Calypso has won the national fencing trails and managed to pull Prince Freddie himself.

When HRH (Freds) does the unthinkable and breaks up with Calypso, breaking the ancient lore that forbids any St Augustine’s girl from being dumped, it sets in motion a school-wide plan for a Royal Counter Dump. Can Calypso win Freddie back? And if she can will she be able to dump him?

All is fair in love and war . . . except, of course, if you’re in love with a prince.

Although entirely fictional, the Calypso Chronicle series give an accurate portrayal of the closed world of Royal teens, created feverish speculation and comparisons to actual royals and Aristocratic teens – specifically Prince William and Prince Harry – were inevitable. After a heated bidding war, Bloomsbury won the USA rights to the series at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2004.
