Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When it turns out that Colin Mudford's brother has cancer (and not a bad case of gastro from eating Christmas dinner too fast like he originally thought) Colin is shipped off from his little out-back hometown to England, to spend time with his Aunty Iris, Uncle Bob and his hypochondriac cousin Alistair. Colin isn't thrilled with the idea, but since he's there he's has a plan. He's going to talk to the Queen and get her help, or failing that, The Best Doctor in The World. Contacting Her Majesty is a little more difficult than he first thought - however, Colin does meet Ted, who is also in the middle of losing someone he loves.This children's book by English-born Australian Morris Gleitzman is one of the funniest, warmest and most thought-provoking books in Australian children's literature, tackling difficult issues with grace and dignity, but without being too weighty or gloomy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named - Discussed. Colin seems distressed by the fact that other than the doctors, the only person he's heard use the word "cancer" is Ted. Everyone else shushes Colin when he says it.

Bittersweet Ending - Luke is still seriously ill, and Ted's partner Griff passed away, but Colin is a little more understanding for the experience, and decides to go back to Australia to be by Luke's side.

Double-Meaning Title

Double-Meaning Title - "Two Weeks With The Queen" refers both to Colin's quest to get the Queen of England to save his brother, but also to the time he spends with Ted, whose house has been graffitied with the homophobic slur "Queens".

All Gays are Promiscuous - Averted. While we can assume that Griff had another partner at some point, Ted and Griff are in a loving and loyal relationship.
