The life of Alexandra Diana Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor was always marked by the weight of a surname that evoked elegance, power and tragedy. Born on June 3, 1994, the youngest daughter of the current King Charles III and the late Diana Spencer grew up in a world where every gesture was observed and every word carefully recorded. Unlike her older siblings, Prince William and Prince Harry, however, her childhood was different, deprived of a mother's warmth but enriched by the ironclad and wise guidance of her aunt, Princess Anne. Fate changed the course of his life in an event that mixed the glamorous spheres of royalty with the elite of motorsport. Alexandra, through a mutual friend, Charles Leclerc, and her close relationship with George Russell, met Max Verstappen, a young driver whose ambition and skill had taken him to the top of Formula 1. In that first meeting, their worlds collided unexpectedly. Alexandra, accustomed to protocol and carefully rehearsed smiles, found herself in front of someone who, although she also lived under the pressure of the public, disarmed her with his authenticity and passion. What started as a casual conversation between strangers slowly morphed into something deeper. Alexandra discovered that, behind the image of the bold and competitive driver, Max hid a sensibility that resonated with his own struggle to find authenticity in a world of appearances. For his part, Max was fascinated by Alexandra's combination of intelligence, humor and vulnerability, seeing in her something more than a princess: a real woman.

He doesn't remember the woman standing just out of reach, the one who used to be everything: his strategist, his wife, the mother of his child... Christian Horner's daughter. Piece by piece, he's forced to rediscover how he got here. And maybe-if he's lucky-how to win her heart all over again.
