- 'Queen Victoria At Kensington Palace With Lucy Worsley'
BAFTA winning historian and Joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces Lucy Worsley takes Dan Snow on a tour of Kensington Palace, one of the principle royal residences since 1689. It was the childhood home of Queen Victoria, who was born on the 24 May 1819.
The rooms of the royal residence were renovated for an exhibition which opened to the public on the 200th anniversary of Victoria's birth.
So how did the young Victoria spend her time at Kensington Palace? And where was she at the moment she was declared queen?

Lucy Worsley can make the history of dog houses interesting. A gift not often found in historians.
She literally made the history of the kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom very interesting! I bet she could do it with doghouses too haha
It doesnt hurt that she is attractive.
@@jamesfraser4173 Yes, met her in person. She looks just like her videos, very busy either filming or writing books plus her regular work at Hampton Court.
Totally agree!
You are absolutely right!
Reason Lucy Worsley makes for one of the most engaging historian presenter, is her true passion for the history she teaches. Very contagious!
What a mixture - an incisive questioner in Dan Snow and a remarkably articulate Lucy Worsley. The best.
She is absolutely brilliant. You can see her mind constructing elaborate tapestries of knowledge before she distills it all into a response that educates and guides people toward what her research has uncovered. She is a master teacher.
And the best part is that this master teacher won't sell her pupils a bunch of bunk. I think it is so confidence inspiring that she busts many of the traditional myths--like the "love at first sight" meeting with Albert. She researches until she finds substantial validation ("skewers it" in her words) for the facts like the hand holding while going down the steep stairs.
Lucy never fails to deliver a whole new aspect on the history of the monarchy.😊
I’m a Yank, and I could listen to Lucy for hours on end. I love history.
Same!
I'm from North Carolina so saying I'm a Yank stings but I know to Brits Yank means all Americans but I agree with the sentiment
@@cleverusername9369 yankee means american to everyone outside usa
I’m American as well and love how Lucy talks about history. She’s so intelligent and charismatic. You can tell she loves the subjects she talks about.
Canadian - same
LUCY WORSLEY IS ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING HISTORIANS EVER.
The first photo shown is actually a picture of Victoria's eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, who became Empress of Prussia, and the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II
Exactly!
I wondered if anyone else caught that!
@@ebriggs3498 I knew immediately it was wrong as the first photos of Victoria and Albert date from the 1840s. Princess Victoria was certainly a pretty young woman, as the photo shows.
Queen of Prussia not Empress. She became Empress of Germany, two separate titles.
What a combo; Dan Snow and Lucy Worsley… Thank you! So appreciate you both.
If she was my history teacher in school I would have paid so much attention. She is a truly incredible historian and she knows how to make history both informative and entertaining
Absolutely, I had a similar teacher and that fed my interest in History and by goodness we have a lot of that in the UK. I studied Military and Social history from WW1 to to WW2 and what happened in between. All through my teacher who is long dead.
She is cool and so cute. I have taught history for 34yrs.
I listened to Lucy talk about Queen Caroline at St Mary’s College Calne recently, it was awesome! She said that Caroline is her favourite Queen, and fun fact, when I asked if she had a least favourite Queen (some historians hate Elizabeth I or Victoria etc)… she replied “the White Witch of Narnia”
Brilliant answer.
Brilliant story.
Thanks for sharing this experience, amazing.
🙂🐿❤️🌈
Lucky you! To have heard her in person!😱Don't you just love Lucy?!
She is wonderful love her shows.
Jadis has got to be the best villain of all time! Lucy is wise 👀
😂😂😂😂 That was a funny answer😂😂😂 You're a lucky person...
I love how Lucy gives the social context - putting these historical figures in the world they actually lived in, not our current world. I’m reading her biography of Jane Austen now and I can’t wait to reread her novels now with a better understanding of Jane Austens world.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II 🌹💕🇬🇧 Just like Queen Victoria, a long reign and a time in history when people realized that their deaths are a end of an era.
What is known about the letters and journal notes Queen. Victoria wrote and her daughter had burned? I really appreciate Ms Worsley’s telling of history. She makes it come alive
Love Lucy Worsley, she's both simultaneously brilliant and cheeky!
I love Lucy's enthusiasm for her countries history ! Her love of it really shows through ❤️ 🇬🇧💜 she has a way of bringing people to life so that their humanity show's through. More Lucy !!!!! Please
country's
The greatest history teachers have that gift of making history come alive. I had one of them. That's why I am a historian today.
"He was known to be a spanker....."
Ooooo, Lucy! You're getting me all *excited* now!
It’s so nice to hear a British historian mention directly the shortcomings of royals. So many people tiptoe around any possible negativity about the British empire or the monarchy it can be so uncomfortable. Lucy bringing up an unflattering quote or be honest about politics makes my ears ring (in a refreshing way)
Not to say all British historians etc etc..but SHE is international treasure who likes to get a little spicy even in lighthearted pieces.
Anything presented by Lucy is always a joy. She could do a special on egg cartons and it would be a delight to watch.
When Lucy is describing Victoria as the perfect monarch of the 19th century, it’s almost identical to the way Elizabeth II will be described, in my opinion (whether she was or not).
Lucy is such a classy and beautiful woman inside and out...I could listen to her for hours!
@Real Aiglon Who the hell cares about what you think!!
Lucy is the BEST. She knows the inside scoop that you didn’t even know you needed to hear….
"The Death Star was not ruled by an old lady in a bonnet, it was ruled by cruel looking Darth Vader" -A True Historian
I love this woman
I am addicted to Lucy. She is so cute!
Lucy Worsley - the absolutely PERFECT historian!! Just the all-time best, imo !
I was born on her birth day 20 years after Bob Dylan. Mom was French Canadian / Welsh. Dad's were loyalists from eastern Ontario who started exiting 1600's . Due to the queens embrace of fraternization among her subjects I have graves in two nations pioneer cemeteries, Notre Dame's on two continents. A cousin of some degree with same first name spelled with a G instead of J due to fact his dad spent time in old world and had son born in London England not Ontario. He was an architect. Much of the Victorian decor is eerily familiar to me. Thank you ever so much.
Anything with Lucy in it makes me watch! She’s amazing!
If you are real and not a bot, answer me this. Would you say that if Lucy was ugly?
Lucy Worsley is brilliant! Such an interesting person and character.
Discovered this channel last year and always loved history but especially when Lucy Worsley is presenting. She make history come alive and we share a surname
I wish I had Lucy as a history teacher
I love Lucy! Her special called "Victoria and Albert: The Royal Wedding" is absolutely smashing fun. You can't help but be fascinated by Victoria; the woman was quite remarkable, yet so very fragile. This was a woman who loathed pregnancy and babies while enjoying every part of making them. A woman who railed at the idea of losing one's sense of self and power to a man but loved having a strong, dominating man in her life to put her in her place. A woman who was jealous of her own children taking their fathers time, and being envious if they dared to like, let alone love each other.... What's not to enjoy learning about? She was quite the little character, ha!
This was excellent. LW is so lucky she gets to see the inside view of so many history buildings.
Dan and Lucy, what an amazing team.
Just watched her Jane Austen house video last night and assumed this was recommended to me because of that. Now I see it's a brand new upload! How serendipitous. 💫 Absolutely love Lucy, I'd listen to her talk about anything!
Growing up in London we used to call what was described as the lake in front of Kensington Palace the round pond. A few winters we were able to ice skate on it in the 1950’s.
So nice to see Lucy responding to questions she’s interested in during a casual conversation. Rather than when she’s presenting more formally (which I also like).
I love Lucy Worsley
I've been listening to her for years
Have just bought Lucy's book on Victoria, and I absolutely love it. Her enthusiasm for history and its stories are infectious.
Also really enjoyed her documentary about the Princes in the Tower.
Dr. Lucy should auction off an hour or two of a personally guided tour (in person or virtual) of a British historical location of choice. Funds could go to whichever non-profit associated with Dr. Lucy at the time. Her little anecdotes as she walks throughout locations are even better than her scripted broadcasts…and I rate those quite high already.
I ALWAYS REALLY ENJOYED HISTORY....
EVEN AS A VERY LITTLE KID....ONE OF
MY FAVORITES...
BRITISH HISTORY....
AND NOW HISTORY
WITH LUCY....SHE's
A GREAT HISTORIAN.
I absolutely love Lucy’s ability and knowledge of being able to enthuse and engage even the average armchair historian on a level not previously seen in an academic of her level. Everything I’ve watched with her in has left me far more informed and eager to hear even more. In fact I’d love to just sit round a good old fashioned English pub fire and listen to her, really excellent x
Aw. Michael Wood (the original cool historian), he reads Latin and old English, he’s seriously awesome, still is, , back in the the day he was the “thinking girls crumpet” lol. , Tracy Borman, she’s also a Dr. curator. There’s a few more! Look them up! Dan Jones, Susanna Lipscomb. . But I know what you’re saying. I love her, her books are wonderful too.
as an architect, I am blown away by the pair of stairs at the end of the video. there just doesn't seem to be enough depth to the stringer to support the stair for the length of the run. and I am sure that there is stone treads and risers. would like to see how they are constructed.
As a non-architect, I must say I was fascinated also by the very same thing. At times, my eyes were trying to "fill in the gap" with the back wall but no - as the camera moves, one can see the very striking thinness/lack of vertical depth of the stair and one concludes that there's more than wood holding it up. It is, after all, called the Stone Stairs...
I love Lucy. She is so smart and articulate.
I could listen to Lucy talk about history for hours. She’s brilliant !
I can never get enough of Lucy. Dans not bad either.
Lucy Worsley’s book on Queen Victoria is brilliant! I couldn’t put it down. Great tour and so insightful.
I was surprised to see twice, the photo of the young woman which seemed to suggest it was Queen Victoria as a young woman. She is not Victoria the Queen. She is Victoria’s daughter and eldest child, Victoria the Princess Royal.
I love hearing Dr Lucy Worsley talk about the royals and can you imagine seeing behind the scenes at Kensington Palace 💖wow thanks for the journey .
Ah, we got to visit this new exhibition, a month after it opened in 2019. I wish I had watched this video beforehand.
I like how she totally bypassed his question about what kind of mother she was. She was a Monster to all her children.
Yea. Noticed that. Lucy seems ready to criticise the patriarchy but ignores it when it comes to criticising a woman. I’d noticed several things in this program that changed my view of her a little bit.
@@xr6lad What? around 11:20 to 11:35 she is actively criticizing Victoria.
Actually she wasn’t. In fact it came out about a year ago that Victoria had left so many diaries, that most historians have not read through all of them. It turns out that much of what we have been told about Victoria’s parenting actually came from the snarky snippets when she was having a hard time with her children. Historians are now going back in and reading her diaries and finding out that she was actually quite a loving and devoted mother, but that many male historians pulled out just the snarky tidbits when she was tired and frustrated with her children! Also, Victoria loved sex, she just didn’t like being pregnant! It caused her to put on so much weight, as she was small in stature, and it also slowed down her capacity to exercise. She has been quite an avid horse woman and exercise walk her, but the medical thought of that day was that a pregnant woman should not exercise, hence, she gained so much weight.
@@ebriggs3498 Actually she was terrible to her children. What kind of a woman tells her bereaved daughter. “ It not as bad to loose a child as it is a husband”
Very enjoyable - thanks Lucy and Dan. Will this be part of a series? - it would be great to have a similar Worsley tour of Osborne, Balmoral etc!
Love history specifically when Lucy Worsley is the Narrator
She’s a great historian she gives history another view when she comes in character of this Queen’s and Princess ❤️👑 and I love all her clothes very stylish 👠👗👛🌂
💗 Lucy!!! I've re-watched all her documentaries. Wonderful to see her with Dan. I just watched them at Jane Austen house. I hope this becomes a more frequent pairing.😊
In 2022 during the Queen’s jubilee I visited Kensington Palace and saw this Queen Victoria exhibit. Very fascinating! Loved the gardens too.
Love you Lucy! I had a history teacher like her in high school which is why I love history today!
Lucy makes learning about history FUN !
Everything with Dr. WORSLEY is just lovely to watch/educational👑
Shes just the best always hated history but with lucy different story just love her im definitely a history fan cant get enough thanks
I would love to do a private history tour with Lucy. As a history undergrad, I would love to hear history stories.
LOL, "the Death Star isn't ruled over by little old lady in a bonnet!" Thanks, Lucy!
Love this lady, Lucy you are wonderful. Love history, especially British as my ancestors came to the Colonies in the 1600’s. Would love to visit one day. Windsor is my great love, could spend days there I bet.
If you are lucky to live near a theatre that she does one of her live shows go and see it. We seen her twice in our local theatre and it’s the best ever.
Lucy is brilliant
I love Lucy Worsley as well as historian Bettany Hughes. Great video and much appreciated! 🙏🇨🇦
OMG FINALLY NEW LUCY!
She is so cute and smart at history stuff. 💖
I'm an American who's intrigued by the u.k.'s history. I'm also a history buff in general. Job well done
Wonderful video! I’m such a fan of Lucy and everything history hit does. I have a question about the photo that pops up occasionally. I think it’s of Victoria’s daughter Also named Victoria ( princess royal) married into the German royal family I believe. Is it intended to be a picture of Victoria? Thank you, I loved this video
Lucy is so interesting, i love her stories!
Lucy -- you're a great historian. Oh and by the way, I love your belt.
Dan Snow is 6' 5¼" (196 cm) tall so, next to him, Lucy Worsley, who, at 5′ 7′′ (170 cm), is not particularly short, looks rather diminutive.
I rather wanted Snow to tuck in his shirt. It made me think that he had dressed hurriedly not bothering to brush his hair. It is the look of the true aristocracy, even when one has married into it.I think the French would call it deshabille :)
@@shaolindragon24jutsu “It is the look of the true aristocracy…” Carefully cultivated. _Déshabillé_ just about says it. (Or maybe he’s just affecting the “tousled academic” look.)
@@jeff__w I think he must have been affecting some sort of look.
Wow Dan is definitely boyfriend goals 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤💦💦💦😘😘😘😘🍑🍑🍑
A favourite channel you learn so much history.
Happy to hear that!
A superb storyteller😊
Love watching any program that Lucy hosts!
Can’t wait to visit in a few weeks!
You're amazing Lucy! Keep up the great work and thank all of your staff for their hard work of filming, editing, etc! 😊
I see a Lucy video and I hit the thumbs up button.
Brilliantly lucid. Lucy! A perfect advert for you book that I will rush to buy once I get myself into gear! And i was able to really concentrate on the facts and learn as you eschewed your regular practice of diving into the dressing up box - Lol! Great video. and hope thee are many more as I doubt I will be able to visit.
Rob😒
the engaging talent of the presenter..even if she guided through my cellar, which is in a re-buiding process, people would watch and say 'wow how very interesting is this..'..Lucy Worsley, what a treasure and luxury to have on the telly.
JUST LOVE HER!
This is great haven't seen a recent Lucy Worsley video in a few years 😀 thank you so much 4 this
I'd listen to Lucy Worsley talk about dryer lint 😅 she's so interesting
The image at 1:30 is not Queen Victoria; it is her eldest daughter Princess Victoria, Princess Royal and later German Empress.
All the degrees these people have, and they couldn't get a picture right.🤦♂️
I thought that
I came here to point that out!
@@karenclare4241 I understand mistakes, but the channel is called "History Hit". They definitely missed on this one. Not to be dramatic, but I'm actually disappointed.
@@anthonythegreat1229 I know they actually show it twice too
I love Luch Worsley and her passion for history is contagious. However, I can't help thinking the photos shown are not of Queen Victoria, but of her eldest daughter, Vicky. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Captivating...as always...indeed
Very interesting. Love to see the show next year.
Lucy is great brains, charm, and a very pretty lady. Her husband is a very lucky man.
I Love Lucy. Lucyyyyyyyyy! You’ve got some splanin’ to do!
lucy is just gorgeous
THANK YOU SO MUCH LUCY.
This was recorded in 2018. Go to 15 minutes 42 seconds. At the end Lucy said the exhibition opens on Queen Victoria's 200th birthday.
Good catch! I went by the date the video was posted and now see I shouldn't have.
Lucy is the best
Well History hit if you’re reading this, if you have any more on Dr. Lucy Worsley work I’d be eager to see it😊
May 24, 2024 - happy birthday, Queen Victoria.
Dan & Lucy!!! Yay!
More of this and I’ll sign up for HH.
I LOVE Lucy!!! 🇦🇺💗🇦🇺
Thank you, dear friend.
Shared with my friends.
That statue is really pretty. Queen Victoria would of loved the Statue. 😊
Her uninhibited, unashamed, respect for English history.
I think a collection needs to be taken up, some of the old rooms could use some sprucing up.
Victoria the greatest empress this world ever had!!
