Using the Royal Family as a metaphor for a country whose fortunes have fallen, she's portraying quite accurately on how people take it when they wake up one morning to find they've lost everything. Some soldier on; some live in denial. Some enjoy the new lifestyle, freed from the restrictions of the old one, and some curl up and die. Some simply survive.
Commenting on the eyes of poor people from the point of view of the poor wouldn't be as poignant - they haven't fallen, they know no other existence. So she's chosen to do so from the point of view of the nouveau poor. The poor don't discuss cockroaches amongst themselves - they just accept that they're there. Diana, however, has to be informed that they exist, and that's how we get to learn of the horrid conditions in Hell Close.
The predictable and cheap jokes are out of the way quickly. Ha ha ha, the Queen can't figure out how to tie her own shoes, cause she's had servants for that. However, as the book progresses (through some witty acknowledgements of changes in word usage - the Royal Family has a dangerous moment when they refer to a guy holding a carpet knife as a "gay bachelor" without realising what that would mean to him) the book twists through some pretty powerful material. Diana has to come to grips with the fact that Charles doesn't love her and never has when he fancies another woman (one significantly less attractive than herself). Charles comes to realise that he's always wanted to do something practical, yet cannot. Neighbours look at them and realise how coarse and unrefined they are compared to the new arrivals, and are ashamed.
This is an excellent book.
