Steven Jackson was raised in England, on the wrong side of the tracks-"the Black Country, where there's no right side." After a convoluted journey through life, he's content to bask in the Arizona sun and in his wife's attentions. His only contact with England is via the Internet or his infrequent visits to the British and Dominion Club near Long Beach-his English "fix."
Into this idyll comes a letter from the British Embassy inviting him to discuss "a matter of some delicacy." Steven allows his wife, Pamela, to persuade him to respond to the letter, only because the consulate is on the way to the beach at Santa Monica, fish and chips at the Kings Head, a visit with friends, and maybe even some cricket.
The news is not what he expects: he learns that he has a twenty-two-year-old daughter named Judith, a potential son-in-law, and some very distinguished in-laws. He finds himself embroiled in the preparations for a royal wedding and suddenly in conflict with two of his least favorite institutions: the British government and the media.

Not Another Story about Princess Diana
Chapter One
A Matter of Some Delicacy
The one irritating habit Pam had left—or the one Steve had not yet come to terms with—was her habit of waiting for the mailman. Although he knew that Pam was no more attracted to the representative of the US mail than any other thirtyish, personable male who crossed her path, he was still rightly aggrieved that anything that came from the US mail sack could compare with being in the same house as himself, but at least she didn't spend half an hour making herself up beforehand as their neighbor did. To add to his sense of aggrievement, if something didn't keep her interest, she was likely to abandon it, only for it to be rescued by Steve when the effective date had long past.
Thus it was on this particular morning Pam had descended on the mailman before his white Jeep had rolled to a stop and returned to find Steven waxing lyrical on the pope's funeral.
"You wouldn't think there would be so many people with nothing better to do."
Pam pushed her long hair aside so she could regard him over a tanned shoulder. "Would you say the same if it was the Queen's funeral?"
"The sovereignty is necessary. The pope isn't."
Pam rightly ignored this and returned her attention to the mail. "Who do you know at the British Consulate?"
"Nobody, and well may it remain so."
"Well somebody's writing to you, look." Pam proffered the envelope with the British Consulate crest on the back.
