For the past 13 years, as England became an increasingly unhappy and fearful place, Prince Charles has been living quietly on a bleak council estate with his wife and love of his life, Camilla. He enjoys gardening and poultry keeping while Camilla spends her days doing as little as possible. But life is about to change.
Charles refuses to follow his destiny unless his wife can be Queen, and public opinion suggests the people would rather have Jordan than Camilla on the throne. But no sooner has Prince William offered himself as the next monarch than one Graham Cracknall of Ruislip emerges, claiming to be Charles and Camilla's secret love child, and therefore the rightful heir to the crown.

"Well drawn out caricatures of the Royal Family, typical Townsend but that is a good thing, because we love her. In fact the characters are so well drawn that the book might just be autobiographical, overlooking the fact that the Royal Family is as in the book is in exile and moved to a shanty-town. " — Apeksha (4 out of 5 stars)

" not my type of humour;still it is very well-written "
" Perfeito para gargalhadas sem conta. Witty. "
" If Townsend is appreciated as one of the best satirical writers in Britain today, it is certainly not because of this book. "
" I read this book on the plane to Australia, it was fantastic! "
" Not a bad read, i enjoy Sue Townsend books, I like the humour. There were parts of the book I didn't really understand - but on the whole an enjoyable read. "
" Must be something wrong with my funny bone, but I did not find this hilarious, just mildly amusing. "
" Really funny and clever. Would be amazing if it was made into a film! "
" A bit silly but not bad for a holiday read "
" Read this over two days on holiday - its a good light holiday read. "
" A follow up to "The Queen and I". As the dust jacket says "preposterously funny" and "Brilliantly satirical". A great laugh when you need some humour in your life. "
" A really funny, tongue in cheek book about England's royal family. All the characters are real, but placed in a futuristic setting where the royalty is exhiled. "
" V funny, I read The Queen & I years ago & Number 10, so had a vague idea of what to expect. Read over a few days, as kept dipping into it. My first read from bookmooch. "
