"The King is dead. Long live the King"
The King is dead. Long live the King (although getting to his coronation unscathed would be a start?)
Buckingham Palace. Today. King James III and Queen Charlotte reign with dignity, duty and decorum. Then a heart-attack at the opera throws the country into chaos. The King is dead. And so the crown passes to his hard drinking and womanising 24-year-old son Richard. The Playboy Prince is thrown into a role he thought he'd have twenty years to perfect, while the nation waits with bated breath for him to mend his ways and fill his father's shoes.
At least he has the support of the Royal Family and an entire army of staff.Whether they are loyal.or have his best interests at heart is another story...
As this dysfunctional family struggles to show a united front to the world,The Palace also follows the staff who tend to their every need. Taking care of a Royal Family may be hard work but there are ancient traditions to uphold below stairs; decanters of spirits to be siphoned and royal toenails to be sold on Ebay.
The Palace places an entirely fictional royal family and their staff within Buckingham Palace and lets a little light, intrigue and wit into a world we love, yet know so little about.
