The Royal Family must learn to live like common people in this hilarious comedy from the author of The Accidental Prime Minister.

Unlucky Bertie has only gone and gambled away the entire family fortune.

It's the last in a long line of disasters, and nobody is going to save the Montgomery family this time. But this is no ordinary family – this is the royal family, and Bertie is the Queen's brother. So it's goodbye to the palace and hello to a little house on King Street for these royals.

Who knew getting jobs and fitting in with the neighbours could be so hard? It's time to sink or swim!

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
