Lucy Worsleys Royal Palace Secrets (DVD)

In this special documentary for PBS, historian and Chief Curator of England’s Historic Royal Palaces, Lucy Worsley, is going to take viewers on an exclusive tour of London’s most extraordinary palaces. These are unprecedented times – for the first time in centuries these sites are shut and empty – but Lucy can get us in… Lucy hasn’t just lived and breathed the very history contained in London’s Royal Palaces – for the past twenty years, they’ve been her workplace. 

In this sumptuously-shot film, which shoots the first week of July, Lucy will grant us privileged access to the forbidding Tower of London, glorious Hampton Court, and treasure-filled Kensington Palace – taking us beyond the velvet ropes into each building’s most secret places to uncover how each palace has shaped a monarchy and a nation.
