Featuring illustrations by Wicked cover artist Douglas Smith Princesses Behaving Badly tells the true stories of famous (Marie Antoinette; Lucrezia Borgia) and some not - so - famous princesses throughout history and around the world including: Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe a Nazi spy. Empress Elisabeth of the Austro - Hungarian Empire who slept wearing a mask of raw veal. Princess Olga of Kiev who slaughtered her way to sainthood. Princess Lakshmibai who waged war on the battlefield with her toddler strapped to her back. Some were villains some were heroes some were just plain crazy. But none of these princesses felt constrained to our notions of lady - like behavior.
