Daisy Silverman has always been obsessed with His Royal
Highness, Prince Charles. When the underachieving 30-something cleaning lady
wins a million dollars, she follows her lifelong dream to go to London. Once
there, she meets Prince Charles—the real Prince Charles. Through a series of
misunderstandings, the Royal Family doesn't realize that Daisy's Jewish or that
she's spent her life up to the elbows in the wrong kind of toilet water. By the
time they do, Daisy is in love with Charles, Charles is in love with Daisy, and
the Queen's white gloves are off.

Excerpt
As Daisy Silverman squatted in front
of the toilet bowl, first depressing the flush lever and then watching as the
milky outgoing spiral removed the mildew and replaced it with fresh water, the
thought occurred to her for at least the thousandth time that if the fickle
hand of fate hadn’t cast her as a cleaning lady, working in wealthy households
and offices in Westport, Connecticut, she would most certainly have made a
perfectly lovely Princess of Wales.
This was a fantasy that Daisy had
entertained off and on since 1981, the same year that the late Princess Diana
had first become Princess Diana. And to this day, eighteen years later,
whenever she thought about it, Daisy still thought that she could have done the
job better.
Oh, sure, Daisy had loved the late
Princess, would have said that she loved her more than anybody. Well, actually
even Daisy was aware enough not to say that; she did know that Diana’s family
and friends had surely loved her more. But Daisy could legitimately claim to
love her easily as much as anybody who had never met her, and that was plenty.
So, if Daisy felt a little competitive with a dead Princess that she had loved
beyond reason, what matter that? After all, there were some compelling reasons
for making a comparison between the two women.
Just like the woman who had possessed
the most photographed profile in the world, Daisy had a genius for making the
kind of seemingly interested, throwaway comment that left others feeling a
little cheerier about their own lot in life. Although even Daisy had felt that
the Princess had been pushing things a bit, several years back, when she had
blithely informed a widow on the dole with a flat full of small children: “Oh,
yes, I just love those microwave pizzas too. Whenever the Heir and the Spare
start to look a little peaked, I just nuke a couple of them in the Palace
micro, and we’re all set to go skiing in Klosters or windsurfing on Necker.”
Or, if those hadn’t been her exact words, it had been something equally
inappropriate...
