Táto humorná séria skúma, čo by sa stalo, keby britská monarchia zanikla a kráľovská rodina by bola nútená žiť medzi obyčajnými ľuďmi. Sledujeme ich chaotické a často komické pokusy prispôsobiť sa životu bez privilégií a etikety. Séria s nadhľadom komentuje spoločenské rozdiely a ponúka pohľad na to, ako sa moc a postavenie menia v rukách obyčajného ľudu.
A revolutionary British government orders the Queen to abdicate and the Royal family to vacate Buckingham Palace. Being rehoused on a council estate in the Midlands comes as a bit of a shock to Philip and Elizabeth. The intrusion of this family of "poshos" is a shock for their new neighbours too.
When the Queen announces her decision to abdicate, Charles refuses to follow his destiny unless his wife can be queen - and public opinion suggests that the people would rather have Jordan on the throne than Camilla. But no sooner has Prince William offered himself as the next monarch than one Graham Cracknell of Ruislip emerges, claiming to be Charles and Camilla's secret love-child and rightful heir.
