Did Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark, a woman of royal lineage, grapple with the complexities of family, duty, and historical circumstance during a tumultuous era? Her life, inextricably linked to both the glitz of European royalty and the shadows of World War II, presents a compelling narrative of resilience and adaptation.
