"Royal Highness" by Thomas Mann is a story about Klaus Heinrich, a royal who feels trapped by his family's position and the duties that come with it. The story starts by showing the royal family and how Klaus Heinrich's birth and his stunted hand makes it hard for him given what society expects of him. The book shows the difference between the royal family's fancy life and the problems they face. Klaus Heinrich has to find his way in the royal court while dealing with family issues and what everyone expects from him. The fancy royal events and personal moments in the castle set the scene for a story that's all about identity, responsibility, and the heavy pressures of being a royal.
