This book is a bestseller in England and understandably so. It's well paced and imaginative. However, it wasn't for me. For those in England, it's probably very funny to think of the royal family living at the low end of the totem pole; however, I am not too familiar with the who's who of the royal family and I'm sure many references and side jokes went right over my head.

But the idea is great, if someone were to write something similar with well known Americans in mind, it'd be funny.

Bottom line: if you are familiar and already understand the characteristics and nuances of royal fam members, then go for it. If not, a certain familiarity is needed for a full appreciation.
