  • Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and chef Rosemary Shrager travel in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, our longest reigning monarch, looking at the houses, castles and stately homes she visited throughout her life.
    Victoria and Albert were guests at the stunning Burghley House, Lincolnshire, in 1844. Victoria had been here before when she was 18, and wrote in her diary, 'I remembered its beautiful exterior and splendid situation but was even more struck when I arrived this time.' In 1844, the pair came to Burghley for a christening where Albert was the godfather and, for once, the centre of attention - although the baby was still called Victoria. As Tim discovers, the christening didn't quite go to plan.
    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.

    This aired in 2011. It's interesting to know that the family still lives here. This Marquess is wealthier than a lot of dukes today.

    You know that feeling when you realize all those references to old mansions having "secret passageways" in stories are probably just referencing the servant's passages and the author is either too high class or too far away in time to know it, and that very fact erases the servants who made these bloated, drafty, completely unnecessary homes livable? It's not a good feeling.
    Still love this show.

    • @henrylivingstone2971
      @henrylivingstone2971 3 роки тому +11

      Well I assume that at the time the size as grandeur was necessary. Both because they were beacons of luxury and splendor to attract royal attention and garner and curry favors with the king or queen and also to use the grounds as an administrative powerhouse for the lord or lady. And sometimes secret passageways weren’t always just for servants sometimes secret passageways were used for secret liaisons between occupants, or as escape routes (such as the Medici passage) or just for fun.

    • @fluffybunny3178
      @fluffybunny3178 3 роки тому +4

      Some places did actually have secret passages to use as escape routes, or trips to the pub which the missus did not know about

      Exactly like the Medici corridor in Venice, or recently there was a country house on sale in the uk where the house had a passage way that the original owners would use to rob people on the highway, not like the m6 more like a rural country road.

    • @mikeoliver6742
      @mikeoliver6742 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@henrylivingstone2971 and fluffy bunny. I didn't want to imply that there were no secret passages that were in fact secret passages; there obviously are (the passage in Marie Antoinette's bedchamber comes to mind). A more nuanced take on my feelings is that the popular imagination conceives of secret passages solely as devices intended for the use of wealthy residents in an emergency and not as a necessary element of the machine that is an estate. Especially when a haunted house or something is involved, this erases the lives of the dozens of working class people that make an estate livable and paints a great house as a place where the wealthy can live independently, which in turn reinforces the perception that the wealthy matter and the working class and poor do not. To give a timely example, Hogwarts costs a king's ransom to attend and is full of secret passages, but doesn't seem to have a janitorial or kitchen staff whatsoever, except for a grounds keeper that is presented as too empathetic to succeed.

      From "Royal Cookbook: Favorite Court Recipes From The World's Royal Families" published in 1971, there's a recipe for Duke of Windsor's Gingerbread, that uses the same flavor profile as shown here. It's delicious, I made it last Chrismas. 1/2 cup butter/margarine; 1/3 cup brown sugar; 1 egg; 1 cup molasses; 2 cup flour; 1 1/2 tsp baking soda; 2 tsp ground ginger; 1 tsp ground caraway seeds, 2 tsp allspice; 2 TBSP chopped candied orange peel; 1 cup chopped almonds; 1 cup hot water. Combine in the usual way, pour into 13 x 9 x 2 greased pan, bake at 325 30-40mins.
