In the not-too-distant future, a radical government has come
to power in Great Britain and the Royal family has been moved…to a housing
estate in Leicester. For the first time, the Royals have to live as ordinary
people and they find the experience baffling and frightening, but ultimately
enriching. Satire on the failings of the Welfare State, the pretensions,
expectations and personal foibles of the Royal family; warm-hearted and
affectionate comedy concerning the Royals’ attempts to come to terms with their
new situation; moments of gentle irony alternating with pure farce: all these,
and more, are facets of this many-layered and superbly entertaining fantasy.
