- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- When Queen Victoria was a 13-year-old princess she stayed at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire for a few days. Here she was charmed by a water fountain and had her first grown-up dinner (which may have included ice cream made from exotic fruits grown in the Chatsworth greenhouses and which food historian Ivan Day re-creates in this programme). Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and chef Rosemary Shrager retrace Victoria’s steps to uncover fascinating titbits about the preparations that were undertaken for her visits to various houses and castles before and during her reign.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

I love how enthusiastic Rosemary is about all the foods they ever make. She makes me so excited by the processes they'd make food with
I was fascinated at how they made the ices/ice cream. I had always wondered what the salt did with ice to help make ice cream. Now I know!
I was on the fence about watching this. The title seemed boring. I was wrong. This is a beautifully filmed travelogue with many interesting elements. Do watch!
Okay I was on the fence too, but I'll get down and watch
Todd Bonin it wasn't a travelogue
I would've never watched a 28 minute vide completely, if it wasnt for your comment. Totally worth watching it full.
History is so mystical in my opinion. Victoria is so posh. How lovely.
I found this channel by accident. I love anything about my fav queen Victoria. Can't wait to go to bed and catch up on all the past episodes👑
Absolutely love this series! Thanks for posting! I've watched it probably 6 times!
I've watched this series about 100 times. Honestly there are so many details and recipes that I can't help it but trying to make them myself.
Impressive that the Cavendish Banana is still a staple commercial crop around the world today! And here we see its origins at Chatsworth House.
The chef's voice is so calming...
He's the best person in this series, to my mind. The other two are so actory and over the top.
The woman that helps the chef is kind of annoying when she breaths hard in the mic
So posh
@@yuh1597 you’re not even real
"I do say, this is the first time I've ever addressed an ice in the form of a piece of asparagus." Probably also the exact words of Victoria.
I am not usually bowled over by what they turn out, but I must say that these moulds and the colorings are just stunning!! You would expect it at Versailles, not in England. Beautifully done--Bravo!
Large pineapple ice cream: "Don't talk to me or my pineapple son ever again."
Loool
pro trick : you can watch movies at instaflixxer. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Khalid Flynn Definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D
@Khalid Flynn Yea, have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)
@@khalidflynn5548 How kind of you to share the suggestion! I will look into it. Thank you!
I love how passionate they are.
I almost skipped this one but I'm so glad I didn't. Such a cute and informative video! ❤
Jessica K. it was a tv documentary
"Tim may not be a queen..." to you maybe... 👑
Methinks the lady doth protest too much
🤣🤣🤣
Hearing that guy talking about an "explosion in your mouth" gave me a bit of a giggle.
Not to be overly indelicate but one must wonder if the future queen Victoria 'trimmed' herself. After all, lice were quite the problem back then.
You're being naughty
In virtually every TV series or movies about queen Victoria,even those about her early life, there never is any mention of her half brother and half sister despite the fact,as I understand it,she was brought up with them in Kensington Palace and she thought very highly of them and corresponded with them when they returned to Germany and became minor royals in their own right.Even a recent mini-series "Young Victoria" totally air brushed them from history.Is it because they would complicate the story line a bit too much?
Didn't complicate it for me.
@@gilliscolgan4356 Yes but they are never mentioned in any account of her younger life either in factual programs or fictional ones.
@Mark Gable But we are talking about very close relatives indeed -your mother's children by her first marriage -and they are brought up with you in Kensington palace! We are not talking about cousins back in Germany.
Goodness! I have never, ever heard of these half-siblings. Yet I've always been an avid history student. I've only ever heard about the mother whom Victoria very unreasonably hated until the lady died. And the scheming Sir John Conroy. This means that Victoria likely had a big clutch of nieces and nephews too. What happened to them?
@@iggle6448 Apparently some of the descendants of queen Victoria's half-siblings still live in the castle of Amorbach in the Franconia region of Bavaria,Germany.Emich Carl the brother became the second prince of Leiningen in Bavaria,and his son ,the third prince of Leiningen obtained his moment of glory by becoming (briefly)the Prime Minister of an attempted Revolutionary government of Germany in 1848 with its headquarters at Frankfurt.(The Frankfurt Parliament)But he resigned soon afterwards and the whole thing came to failure.Queen Victoria's half sister Fedora(1807-1872)married into German aristocracy (The Hohenlohe-Langenburg family)and had 8 children some of which were the ancestors of king Gustav of Sweden and king Felipe VI of Spain.
I love her enthusiasm!
I enjoy documentaries about history. Anything with Rosemary Shrager is always interesting. Thank you.
I wish that they would do a pan of the whole kitchen so we could see the way they planed their kitchens .
This is the most incredibly English thing I've ever seen. It's magical.
Out of interest, what makes it so English for you?
I would love to try that ice cream! I'm jealous of Tim and Rosemary! I love this show.
This is my favorite episode so far. Really want to try and make icecream like that sometime.
This is a fun series! Love seeing the cooking! That lady is wonderful to listen to.
I love her reaction to everything. She's delighted. She's surprised. It's enjoyable history indeed.
very informative. wonderful video - thanks so much for making it.
Thanks for uploading this (again) let's hope that it stays for a while!
Amazing ices such work going into just one meal!
Yeah! And Victoria didn’t even show up!
Omg I'm in LOVE with this episode❣❣❣
Me too!
There's a whole series of these, where they go to a lot different country houses where Victoria visited and do the same thing. It's called *Royal Upstairs Downstairs* like in the title.
What a dream come true. You both are so lucky!
more!!!!! those ice cream molds are amazing!!!
Halfway through it sounds almost just like Sex and the City theme lol
The music is not to my taste and rather inappropriate AFAIC.
Can't wait for the next episode!
Enjoyed this video. Very interesting.
I'll be making my own ice cream after watching that! Yum!
I love this episode !
Magnificent video
Sex and the City music in background,,, during the Ice cream segment!.... How brilliant.
Add the whole series please!!!
This was so interesting!
Exquisite.
Would have been fun to see them dressed up as Victoria and Albert....
Oh gawd! They were over the top as it was!!
Oh my goodness. What a fantastic idea!!! Thanks for sharing it!!!
Tim’s properness is hilarious
It's funny, to me, the era before Victoria became Queen, it was, actually, the Georgian Era. The time only after Victoria became Queen, was known as the Victorian Era, named for the time that Victoria reigned.
Because of King George. Just like in Shakespeare's time, it was the Elizabethan Era because Elizabeth was queen. That's standard time period naming for countries with monarchies in the West.
That's how periods named after monarchs work.
The ices were gorgeous
FANTASTIC EPISODE!!! I WANT SOME ICE CREAM!!!!!
The fact that she said it would've been the event of a lifetime for the servants to serve Princess Victoria seems off. I feel like it was probably just a regular job for them day after day and when a royal person came over it was probably really stressful to measure up to the expectations and keep up with the constant demands.
Mrs. Florez- There was a sense of great pride amongst servants to say that they had served royalty. It's not like today. There were class lines that people never even thought about crossing. So servants really did consider serving royalty to be an honour.
thats the sole plot of the downton abbey movie lol just the servants pride in being good enough for the king and queen, kinda vapid sugary plot but whatever. back then, you had to remember that being in service provided a real career track to a respectable, proper position in a fine house at the top of the servants hierarchy, so you have darn good reason to perform your best at a royal visit. if you can say that you served a family that hosted the princess like, thats a big CV boost
Please can anybody name that classical music selected for the in between scene segments?
Did I miss something? I saw them sealing the seams with lard, but than throwing ice and salt directly on top of the big opening, which is only protected by paper.
Nice technique.
Isn’t this the pride and prejudice house?
Lyme Park was used in the famous TV series though they do talk about visiting chatsworth.
The 2005 film, yes.
It was also the real life home of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (If you’ve ever seen the movie The Duchess, 2008).
How did they make the ice back then? I would really love to know.
Ice was normally cut from ponds or rivers and stored in underground ice houses to keep it frozen. Very cool (pun intended)
Where did they get the ice? Does anyone know? Cuz I feel lazy to look it up
Hahaha squirting tree xD she was as normal as any other 13 year old.
They gathered it off lakes and rivers during Winter and stored it in half-buried "Ice Houses". A large estate like this would have had one.
They also imported ice from Norway and Canada.
Loved it, but why couldn’t someone fix that poor woman’s collar?!?
Thank you. I too was aghast at it, lol
Yes I'd love to know how they made ice them.
im loving this desperate housewives/ americas next top model wii music.
i want that cook to be my friend. LOL
Listening to this one would imagine that nowadays there are no such inequalities in wages and lifestyle...! People always look at the past in a very critical manner, but tend to forget we do no better.!
Yum yum yum and it is an amazing home....shame about the original greenhouse .
I wish they would tell us how the homes are used now. Still a private residence?
Yes.....wonderful place to visit.💕
The Duke still lives there though large parts of the house and gardens are open to paying members of the public.
Judith Keating Yes, its still owned by the same family Peregrine Cavendish, the 12th Duke of Devonshire inherited it from his father, its open to the public and after coronavirus its just reopened again
and Derbyshire where its situated is one of the most beautiful counties,
fred astaires sister adele married Lord Charles Cavendish who was the son of the 9th Duke
and Kathleen Kennedy known as Kick, JFKs sister married William Cavendish, who was the Marquess of Hartington, known to everyone as Billy Hartington, he was the heir of the 10th Duke
so she was the Marchioness of Hartington and the future Duchess of Devonshire
only Billy was killed in WW2, in 1948 Lady Hartington had become involved with an Earl and they were flying from Paris to the Riviera and Kick was killed instantly, she's buried in the churchyard of Saint Peter's church, Edensor, its the closest parish church to Chatsworth, JFK visited Chatsworth and her grave in june 1963, theres a plaque on her grave to commemorate that visit
the current Duke is Billy's nephew
🙏🇬🇧🙏
How was ice made during that time?
I'm amazed at the sheer scale of these country mansions and no doubt built from wealth sucked from the colonised nations as part of the British empire and especially from the jewel of the empire,India
Gawd, the Victorians sure loved their shades of pink, red and poisonous green. Vomitous to me but they did love it.
the pay was per month or per year ?
I don't think the ices would have been served on paper doilies.
Needs more cream. A lot more 😎
How was ice made in those days?
That looks more like sorbet than ice cream. Why's it so crystal'y?
I thought the same
The curator isn't just robert webb with a hair cut???
sounds like him and looks like him, it must be him or otherwise there is a twin about!
Mr. Darcy's home 😊
It's fairly tolerable.........😂
To quote Mr Darcy...

So, wait... He stole the horde of antique pewter ice cream moulds from his place of employment?
Oh my gosh, you are hilarious! Hahaha. I don't know that he stole the ice cream molds. I know that he (Ivan Day, a food historian) is an avid collector of antique kitchen utensils. He's always impressing the lady chef, Rosemary Schrager, with stuff he's found. He was probably the only one interested enough to buy the lot. But thanks for the giggle.
Isn’t this the woman from Ladette to Lady?
I thought salt melted ice!!
Not in dry iced.
21:06 is what you’re looking for.
Was the 6th Duke the son of Lady Georgiana Spencer?
Doesn't Peter become deadly if it comes into contact with acidic like things
Now we know why Victoria was a bit "round".
How did the Victorians make ice back then?
OK then
spaddle = spatula + paddle
FIRST
They had all this melted arctic ice, the purest water one could get their hands on, they could have boiled it and drunk it, but no, they drank beer for sanitation purposes instead. So stupid.
In 2020, I’d pay top dollar for arctic ice melted into water. I honestly don’t get Victorians.
Hope that's not real Puter because it has lead.
Nah guys, that's fucking PEMBERLY
Totally boring for a 13 year old!
So sad the English don’t appreciate their history
Of course we do, why on Earth would you say such a thing? For example soon after filming took place (in the above video), £40 million was spent renovating Chatsworth House.
I wonder what makes you think that? (Serious Q)
iggle London
Tamara Carter great name but honestly it seems as though most English are ok with monuments and statues being destroyed
@@CarterKey6 Sorry I didn’t see your reply until now. Can you explain a bit more about what you actually mean because we greatly value our history and have so much of it remaining from giant medieval cathedrals to sumptuous Baroque interiors.
tim the host needs braces. asap
Why? Why should he put metal in his mouth and twist his teeth around? To appease people like you? Who do you think you are?
chndlr18 pretty much
