We are not amused… we are empowered. Crowned & Unfiltered is the perfect guide for any woman who’s tired of being told to ‘keep calm’ when she’d rather take the throne.

Napoleon thought he was the powerful one. Adorable. Paula’s book proves what I always knew: the woman with the best instincts (and the best wardrobe) always wins.

Paula’s lessons in mid-life majesty are far more nourishing than cake — and far less likely to be misquoted by the masses. A delicious read for any queen who refuses to apologise for wanting more.

Finally, a book that understands that a woman’s power is not a scandal — it’s a strategy. Paula’s lessons are sharper than my diplomacy and far more reliable than my lovers.

If my advisors had read this book, they might’ve stopped suggesting marriage as a solution to every political inconvenience. Paula’s book contains more practical wisdom than half the men who served in my court. And considerably fewer tantrums. A must-read for queens who know their worth.

Frankly, if Henry had read this, he might’ve realised the problem wasn’t my attitude, but his inability to handle a woman with one.

I took the throne in a world that said I couldn’t. Paula’s book would’ve made the process far more entertaining. Five stars for strategic brilliance.

If Caesar and Antony had read this book, they might’ve understood that a woman’s power is not up for negotiation. Paula writes like a queen who knows her worth. My kind of woman.
