**Princess Theodora, Mrs. Michael Pierce** (born **Theodora Catherine Louise Anne Cromwell**) is one of the four main characters in the novel series, *All the King's Daughters*. She is a Princess of the United Kingdom and second in line for the throne of Great Britain.

## Al the King's Daughters series

Princess Theodora is the second daughter of King Cyrus and Queen Beatrice. Theodora is also the younger sister of Princess Alexandra and the older sister of Princess Georgiana, Princess Francesca, and Princess Samantha (born later on in the series). Theodora's nickname is "Dori," which is believed to be given to her by her sisters.

Unlike her sisters, Alexandra, Georgiana, and Francesca, Theodora is a willowy brunette who wears a lot of eyeliner and eye makeup (usually smudged due to her wild ways), short dresses and platform pumps. Theodora is now sporting slightly more tomboyish, butch-like clothing, including leather, biker-style and studded denim jackets, tight jeans, and slouchy beanies. She is very thin. Theodora is described as a "wild party girl." Before the series, Theodora ended up doing drugs and alcohol and her wild partying ended up on the front pages of every newspaper in England. Theodora often clashed with her father because he was embarrassed of her wild partying ways as the King of England. She has a better relationship with her mother who was often the mediator between father and daughter.
