(Queen Victoria and Sir Henry are portrayed by Eve and Steve Bacon of Live'n History)
Last week I had the honour and pleasure of accompanying Queen Victoria on a royal engagement to Pontefract Castle. The Queen's Private Secretary, Sir Henry Ponsonby, was also in attendance. We met many of her majesty's loyal subjects and were particularly touched by the manners of the younger visitors, who were quick to learn how to behave during a Royal Audience.

Really enjoyed watching Victoria and Albert: The Royal Wedding over the Christmas period. Lucy Worsley was as engaging and entertaining as always. As usual it didn't quite go into the details as much as I would have liked, but it was masterfully put together and an interesting exploration of an event that was so influential its effects can still be seen in the majority of weddings today. And I made an appearance too, in the guise of a maid 😊
