When a lonely American event planner starts dating the gay Prince of Wales, a royal uproar ensues: is it true love or the ultimate meme? Find out in Paul Rudnick's hilarious romantic comedy, Playing the Palace. Carter Ogden holds out hope for love, but even in his wildest dreams he never thought he'd meet the Crown Prince of England. When they meet by chance at an event Carter's boss is organizing, Carter's sure he imagined all that sizzling chemistry. This unlikely but meant-to-be romance sets off media fireworks on both sides of the Atlantic. With everyone having an opinion on their relationship and the intense pressure of being constantly in the spotlight, Carter finds ferocious obstacles to his Happily Ever After, including the tenacious disapproval of the Queen of England. Carter and Prince Edgar fight for a happy ending to equal their glorious international beginning.
