NYTimes.com: The Queen is dead. Charles, paranoid and power obsessed, dissolves Parliament and parks a tank outside Buckingham Palace. While Prince William dithers, his steely and pragmatic wife, Kate, orchestrates a palace coup to save the monarchy and prevent Britain from sliding into civil war.

I love this. I don't think it's necessarily malicious, but rather it mocks the pedestal people place the royal family on. The royals are current celebrities, and as a result should be prepared for such commentary. I don't think a play is as insulting as libel in journalism or whatnot. At least in theatre it's somewhat clearer what's truth and what's fiction.
