New King Palmers

Set in the late 1990s, in the months up to and after the death of Princess Diana, New King Palmers is narrated by its principal character Humfrey Joel, a close friend of Earl Eliot d'Oc. The earl's ancestry is bound up with the Habsburgs and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. D'Oc is a member of the British Privy Council and a close friend of Prince Charles (now King Charles III) and Princess Diana. In the months preceding Diana's death, d'Oc commissions a young theatre professional to develop a play, whose theme is constitutional issues surrounding the British monarchy.
