The story of "Tea Time with the Queen" takes place in a small town in the English countryside (Arundel), where the wealthy aristocratic Fitzwilliam family lives. The series is set in the 2000s, a time when the British monarchy is still in place but adapting to the changes of modern society. The characters are obsessed with their social status and public image, and often seek to impress other members of the local community. Tea is an important daily ritual for the family, who frequently host social events to reinforce their status and influence in the town. The series humorously and subtly explores the complexities of social and familial relationships, as well as the tensions between tradition and modernity in British society.
