What if being royal was a crime?

Yet Prince Charles is more interested in root vegetables than reigning ... unless his wife Camilla can be queen in a newly restored monarchy. And when a scoundrel who claims to be the couple's secret love child offers to take the crown off their hands, the stage is set for a right royal showdown.
