Resumen del Editor

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.

move over Jeeves

If you like British literary comedy or campy dystopia satire, this is worth a try. It took an hour of play for me to warm to the novel and even longer to tolerate the talking dogs, but in the end I really enjoyed ths listen, canine characters included. The novel even softened my socialist distaste for the Monarchy.

If situations like "The Chancellor wondered if he had enough energy to stage a coup" in reaction to the "war on dog terror" appeal to you, download this. It's similar in tone to "The Messiah of Morris Avenue" with the Royal Family instead of Jesus.

Awful portrayal of royal family

I could not finish this horrible and demeaning depiction of the British Royal Family. I stopped at page 10 and deleted it from my tablet. Awful and stomach churning this book was to me.
