Princess Georgiana (Georgie) is the spare to the British throne, but her party girl lifestyle and constant public scandals threaten the monarchy's future. In an effort to get her as far away from London as possible, and at the same time, hoping to prevent Australia from leaving the Commonwealth, Georgie's parents send her off to Australia to become their queen, along with her new staff, director of communications Zoe, private secretary Bernard, head of security Marc, personal assistant Matthew, lady-in-waiting Anabel and master of the household Wei Wei. A welcome reception is Georgie's first public appearance in Australia, where an offensive faux pas from the jet-lagged new Queen makes the night go from bad to worse.

Prince Frederick (Freddie), Georgie's golden child of a brother and heir to the British throne, arrives from London with some unwelcome news from their parents.
