Project Gutenberg 2011-05-03 Public domain in the USA. 152 Mann, Thomas 1875 1955 Mann, Paul Thomas Thomas, Paul Curtis, A. Cecil Königliche Hoheit. English Royal Highness Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Jana Srna and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Royal Highness" by Thomas Mann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Klaus Heinrich, the younger brother of Albrecht II, who struggles with the expectations of his royal status and the burdens that accompany it. The opening chapters introduce the reader to the royal family, the circumstances of Klaus Heinrich's birth, and the societal pressures that shape his identity. The beginning of the novel paints a vivid picture of the royal setting in which Klaus Heinrich exists; it contrasts the pomp and grandeur of his family's status with the underlying vulnerabilities, especially given his birth defect – a stunted hand. As the Grand Duke grapples with the implications of having a son who does not meet the ideal of imperfection, we see the challenges that Klaus Heinrich will face as he navigates the complexities of court life, familial roles, and the expectations placed on him as a member of the royal family. Through sweeping depictions of royal ceremonies and intimate moments within the castle, the opening sets the stage for a narrative steeped in themes of identity, duty, and the haunting pressures of expectation that accompany aristocracy.
