To Play the King plot

Francis Urquhart has been Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for several years and has an outspoken right-wing policy. He is doing relatively well in opinion polls, but his following is dwindling. The queen has died and her son has become the new king. During the first meeting between the head of state and prime minister, it soon became apparent that the king wanted to play a more active role in the social debate. Urquhart is relatively stable, but is regularly plagued by flashbacks.
