Если обыкновенного человека переселить в трущобный район, лишив пусть скромного, но достатка, то человек, конечно расстроится. Но не так сильно, как королевское семейство, которое однажды оказалось в жалком домишке с тараканами в щелях, плесенью на стенах и сажей на потолке. Именно туда занесла английских правителей фантазия Сью Таунсенд. И вот английская королева стоит в очереди за костями, принц Чарлз томится в каталажке, принцесса Анна принимает ухаживания шофера, принцесса Диана увлеченно подражает трущобным модницам, а королева-мать заводит нежную дружбу с нищей старухой. Проблемы наваливаются на королевское семейство со всех сторон: как справиться со шнурками на башмаках; как варить суп; что делать с мерзкими насекомыми; чем кормить озверевшего от голода пса и как включать газ, чтобы разжечь убогий камин
