Someone to Watch Over Me

Telling of the bitter struggle of Prince Charles and his consort, Camilla, to fight off a challenge for the throne of Britain from a Stuart claimant, Count Paolo Sobieski, a descendant of a lost son of Bonnie Prince Charlie who was, baptized in Rome in 1774 by Cardinal the Duke of York, his historic brother. There are documents to prove Sobieski's claim. His Stuart and Catholic cause is now backed by an expatriate American media mogul. Prince Charles responds with an ad campaign prepared by a New York City advertising agency for reasons of security and paid for by the Saudi Royal Family. They are attracted by Charles expressed wish to be defender "of faith" in the abstract rather than the faith which could thus embrace Islam. Sobieski's appeal is now cynically increased by a publicity campaign in which two contrasting women fight for his hand in marriage: one a German Countess, a beautiful woman of the world and an American actress who, by contrast, supports basic moral values. The sparks fly and romance blossoms. The action moves finally from Paris to Princess Diana's favorite Caribbean island, St. Kitts, where bizarre issues unfold to reveal truths previously unseen.
