About this listen
No one has lived and breathed the monarchy quite like Lucy Worsley. For over twenty years, she worked as Chief Curator in some of Britain's most splendid palaces - and now she is ready to throw open the doors and welcome us in.
In QUEENS & KINGS, Lucy takes us on a journey through some of our most turbulent and significant moments in history. From the Council Chamber in which Henry VIII decided to break from the Pope to lunch with the late Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, from encounters with the Tower of London's Ravenmaster to the depths of Queen Victoria's wardrobe, Lucy shares how she grew to know the queens and kings, courtiers and servants who lived in these buildings before her. She traces their footsteps through the corridors and cloisters, the courtyards and kitchens and breathes new life into moments of great joy and consequence - as well as tales of intrigue which lurked in the shadows of regal splendour.
Packed with new stories told from unexplored places, this is a fresh history of the monarchy.©2026 Lucy Worsley (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
