Queen Camilla - Inconsistencies Between Novels

Inconsistencies Between Novels

There are several inconsistencies between the two novels, among them:

• The fate of the Imperial State Crown; destroyed in "The Queen and I", yet still in the Queen's possession in "Queen Camilla".
• The death of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The character was killed off in "The Queen and I", set in 1992, yet in "Queen Camilla" she is said to lived to the age of 101, as she did in real life.
• In "The Queen and I" Jack Barker effectively "sells" Britain to the Japanese; in "Queen Camilla" this is changed to the Americans. As such the marriage of The Prince Edward to the daughter of the Emperor of Japan is forgotten and the character is married to his real-life wife, The Countess of Wessex.
• Tony Threadgold's name is changed to Vince, and he and Beverley apparently now only have one child, Aaron, as opposed to two, Lisa-Marie and Vernon. They also now live next door to Charles and Camilla instead of the Queen.
• In "The Queen and I" Prince Charles goes on the run after escaping from prison. No explanation is given for his return to Hell Close.
