William Kuhn invokes a modern adventure for Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth, who has grown a little blue and unsatisfied with her life at
Buckingham Palace. In an attempt to break out of her routine and remedy her
current situation, she sets off on an unscheduled journey, wearing a skull-emblazoned
hoodie as her “disguise.” Mrs. Queen boards a train bound for Scotland, and it’s
kind of fun envisioning her acting as a mere commoner, paying for taxis and making
polite conversation with complete strangers (she even pretends to be Helen
Mirren). Desperate to find the Queen and avert a major PR nightmare are several
members of her royal staff including a butler, lady-in-waiting, a young female
employee of the royal stables, and a clerk from the shop that supplies Her
Majesty’s cheese. A clever idea for a story, it certainly fits the bill
if you’re looking for an easy summer read.
