Courtiers, The Secret History of Kensington Palace by Lucy Worsley

With theatres partially open during the pandemic, our Curtain Up series of online talks have proved a big success.

The series, presented in conjunction with Iconic Media Solutions, offers on-demand access to talks that have been live-streamed by celebrities and experts.

So far there are shows featuring Gyles Brandreth, Rev Richard Coles, The Antiques Roadshow’s Paul Atterbury, architectural historian Dan Cruickshank, and Lucy Worsley.

Lucy’s past shows include an illustrated talk of her book 'Jane Austen at Home’, as well as ’Queen Victoria: Daughter, Wife, Mother, Widow’, which are both available for purchase on-demand. 

We continue with ‘Courtiers, The Secret History of Kensington Palace’ by Lucy Worsley, who will take you on an illustrated journey through the weird world of the Georgian court by telling the story of her favourite queen, Caroline. Wife of the almost-forgotten King George II, Caroline was the fattest, funniest, and cleverest queen ever to sit on the throne. Using eighteenth-century paintings, court memoirs, palace diaries, and intimate letters, Lucy recounts the adventures and trials of Caroline’s life at Kensington Palace, explaining the unlikely turn of events that led an orphaned princess from a tiny German state to sit upon the British throne.
