A WIDKEDLY FUNNY TALE ABOUT THE BRITISH ROYALS "Their right Royal Highnesses take their first steps into their new. less than palatial, residence in a run-down midlands council estate;; The Queen's election night nightmare of a Republican state is taking place with hilarious consequences."

This book's tone and feel made me think of the work of Terry Pratchett, with both subtle and absurd observations mixed deftly throughout.

Surprisingly entertaining, well-written, funny and a good "what if" scenario. The cast of characters not only includes the Queen and Phillip, but also Diana and Charles and their children (written prior to her death), Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother...and a loony cast of new neighbors.
