Princess Samantha

Princess Samantha (Sam) Washington is the younger sister of Princess Beatrice and the twin sister of Prince Jefferson (who she is older than by 4 minutes).

She is the second oldest child of the King and Queen making her the "spare" to the American Royal throne. Nobody cares about the spare except when she’s breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn’t care much about anything, either–except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. She is best friends with Nina Gonzalez.

Her protection officer is named Caleb.

Early Life
Sam was born four minutes before her fraternal twin brother, Prince Jefferson.

American Royals
Sam and Jeff have just come back from a trip abroad during their gap year after graduating high school. Sam, having escaped her bodyguards during the trip, is in trouble with her parents.

Appearance
Samantha has chestnut hair and golden-brown skin. She is said to not be traditionally beautiful, being Hanoverian in appearance, with a wide and sloping forehead, heavy brows, and starkly hew features. However, she has "a nebulous, infectious energy to her, as if she were somehow more alive than everyone else. As if all her nerves were sparking at once, just below the surface."

Personality
Samantha is a firebrand.

Princess Beatrice
Samantha and Beatrice have a complicated relationship; Beatrice's future as the queen has put a block between them that throughout their childhood and early adulthood has only pushed them further apart. This is made worse when Beatrice chooses Lord Theodore Eaton to marry...who Sam was interested in. Sam then reconnects with Beatrice in the second book Majesty.

Prince Jefferson
Sam's twin, she often refers to the pair of them as the 'court jesters' of the family.

Lord Theodore Eaton
Sam kissed Teddy in a coat closet during the Queen's Ball and later that night found out Beatrice had asked him on a date and he'd said yes.

Nina Gonzalez
Sam's best friend since they were kids, Nina's mother Isabella was the Chamberlain for several years before becoming the Minister of the Treasury. Nina later dates Prince Jefferson. "))))))"

Trivia

 * Sam owns a lemon-yellow Jeep which she named Albert. She received him on her 16th birthday even though she kept failing the parallel parking part of the driving test
 * She used to own a baby blanket named Blankie from her grandfather which she was supposed to share with Jeff. After the two of them were caught fighting over it, their dad split it in half
