Queen Camilla

By: Sue Townsend

Narrated by: Patricia Gallimore

THE BRILLIANTLY FUNNY SEQUEL TO THE QUEEN AND I FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE ADRIAN MOLE SERIES

What if being Royal was a crime?

The UK has come over all republican. The Royal Family exiled to an Exclusion Zone with the other villains and spongers. And to cap it all, the Queen has threatened to abdicate.

Yet Prince Charles is more interested in root vegetables than reigning ... unless his wife Camilla can be Queen in a newly restored monarchy.

But when a scoundrel who claims to be the couple's secret love-child offers to take the crown off their hands, the stage is set for a right Royal show down.

And the question for Camilla (and rest of the country) will be: Queen of the vegetable patch or Queen of England?

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.
