Teen fiction about a princess switch

[Stargazer]

I am looking for the name or author of a book I read in the late 80s/early 90s. It was about a high school girl who comes home one day to find stange people in her house who claim that she is a princess from a foreign land who was switched at birth with another girl. She goes to the land, unwillingly, to learn how to take the throne. I also remember something about a very large dog and a ski instructor. I think. TIA

Might it be: A Royal Pain, by Ellen Conford?

This was a favorite of mine... I "think" the dog and the ski instructor might be right, but can't remember.

I remember her having to go get her picture taken for the national stamp, and the girl raised as a princess being awful to her...

and it's much better then the "official" reviews shown on amazon, it deserves the high star rating it's earned.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This has been bothering me for weeks! I am ordering this book right now.

You're welcome. I went through my own "what was the name of the bratty princess book?" myself here a while back. What let me find it, though, was I was pretty sure of the name of the country... and Saxony Coburn is pretty unique.

Enjoy!
