American Royalty is a three-book contemporary romance series by Tracey Livesay. The series begins with Bedmates (2016), then continues with American Royalty (2022) and The Duchess Effect (2023), following a Black American female rapper named Dani Allen and her relationship with a fictional British prince.

The series uses the “American in the British royal family” premise to explore questions of cultural identity, racial dynamics within elite institutions, and the tension between public image and private authenticity. Dani’s career as a celebrity adds a layer of media scrutiny to the romance, with both characters navigating what their relationship means under intense public attention.

The gap between Bedmates and the 2022 continuation reflects the time between Livesay’s earlier series work and her later focus on this universe. The Duchess Effect (2023) follows the couple as they navigate the permanent realities of life as a public figure in the royal world.
