For his Royal Highness Klaus Heinrich, prince of a small German duchy, life means servitude to traditional ducal functions - until he complies with the independent-spirited and liberal-minded American Miss Spoelmann. During his unorthodox and quixotically tender wooing, Heinrich is pressured to reach into anonymous depths of his personality and find out the real meaning of the word 'obligation'. Peopled with a variety of personas from aristocrat to artisan, Royal Highness offers a microcosmic view of European countries before the Great Conflict. Mann's enchanting fable of a decaying, stratified culture rejuvenated by modern makes illustrates what he regarded as a universal real truth: that ripeness and loss of life are necessary conditions for rebirth.
