The Queen And I

by Sue Townsend
1992

The royal family is made to live like commoners.  Rather shoddily written compared to some Townsend books, but very, very funny. The fact that the whole story was the Queen's nightmare was obvious from line one – but then, it couldn't have been anything but a nightmare, and it couldn't have been anything but obvious that it was. The ending was also spotted a mile off, but who cares? It was a fun, funny book. The premise (royals become commoners) wasn't dealt with realistically at all, and that made it all the more enjoyable.
