Victoria + Albert's Time At The Beautiful Burleigh House | Royal Upstairs Downstairs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2020
- 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.
This series has been excellent. Tim and Rosemary are great presenters.
Facts
Never let this series end! I love these two so much and it’s obviously they mix well together I love it!!
Sadly ,Rosemary lost her husband Michael this year(just before the lockdown),after 48 years of marriage.
😭
Oh no! I love her mischievous giggle!
😢
That is heartbreaking! May he Rest In Peace. Condolences to the family.
She lost her mother few weeks after her husband as well. Unlike her husband, her mother died of COVID-19. So tragic 😢
I've been binging on Upstairs Downstairs! Loving it 💚 and loving the hosts, Rosemary and Tim, and can't forget the food historian, Ivan! 😀
That kitchen is incredible!
I wish rosemary and tim did a new series of the most luxurious state dinners at stately homes (not just for Victoria) in history and do remakes of a dish from that dinner. Maybe even state homes that were known for certain popular dishes
Love this serious...I obsessed with Queen Victoria...
I’m a Tim & Rosemary groupie 😀👍🏻
I hope they and the crew got a chance to finish that yummy looking gingerbread. Love this series.
The gingerbread reminds me of mexican marranitos. Cakey and thick. Not overly sweet. I love them and I'd love to try it with the addition of the orange! Yum!
I cannot believe they left that gingerbread on the table after just having a nibble. I bet when the camera was turned off it disappeared very quickly ! And as you said that citrus flavor would make it extra yum.
In Queen Victoria’s memoirs she talks about that the apartment was small but very nice...I’m thinking, my goodness it looks huge LOL
i SIMPLY adore these two people !!! Thank you for sharing this !!!!
I really enjoyed this episode. What an incredible home!
While he stared at the ceiling, all I could was my, what spacious, luxurious stairs! I feel for the servants climbing narrow, misshapen staircases behind closed doors.
Excellent memories! What a beautiful time! All gone.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
Poor you and your feelings.
I love this series so much, keep 'em coming!
Now that castle would be worth touring.😀
Love this series.... Love it!
She has the most adorable accent
The Hello Magazine of the Victorian Era 😂😂😂😂😂 love it
I wish I had that recipe for gingerbread. It sounds amazing!
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.
I absolutely love these shows...all of the little trivia pieces are fantastic.
This was a great show thank you so much
Thank you for a very interesting program. Excellent !
A whole half day off! Wow what a great landlord
I want the recipe for the gingerbread!
Harry Potter? I was thinking more Dante's Inferno.
This had nothing to do with Harry Potter
9:40 to 9:45
Not what I meant lol...I meant what he was describing had nothing to do with Harry Potter.
Me too..
Quite fascinating. I would love a sample of the gingerbread.
Can’t get enough of this series !
Victoria sending a christmas present to all her godchildren be like: Victoria #1, Victoria #49 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing this show is fantastic
i was supposed to tour burghley during my time in uk but didn’t get a chance to go. glad i found this video
Love this show!
One of my new favorite shows
more more!!! omg what an amazing kitchen!!!!!!
Turtle soup is still served in Etna, Pa., USA
Es una emisión tan divertida que espero la sigan pasando en Reino Unido. Eso sí: ya van dos episodios donde los regios invitados se quedan en la cama más del tiempo programado ^,^!
"When not doing a bit of horizonal P.T. upstairs with Albert..." XD
Wow what a kitchen!
Absolutely. wonderful!
Can you please share the recipe for the gingerbread?!😍
God, I hope most of those footmen were gingers. The colour of the footmen's uniforms goes so well with the red-haired guy's complexion and hair, it's a thing of beauty.
I'm really excited about having this episode here on YT. Burghley House documentaries are very hard to come by.
I love all the video on the Royal family
9:40 "straight out of...Harry Potter!" Oh i love this man 😁.
When they run out of castles, my life will cease to exist haha
Love the English sense of humour 😆🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love this
I want a kitchen like that!
As far as I'm concerned they could have spent the whole show in the kitchen.
IEEW..THAT was the UGLIEST part of all.
@@waterbird91
why? That kitchen is gorgeous.
No both together make it a jewel of a show
Totally misleading title..
Yes, I was expecting Prince Albert to be the one christened.
My aunt used to make stew from snapping turtles. The turtles were a menace in local ponds so people would catch them all the time. She hated wasting anything and thought why not. I haven't smelled it since I was little but it smelled so bad I would leave the house.
My favorite show
Very neat
Can u imagine Queen Victoria's facial expression when she was told she was just served Turtle' soup 😂😂😂
lovely video. but I don't imagine Victoria and Albert's marriage bed with that jazz piece you played. no no no. LOL
It's no wonder they piled high six mattresses to sleep well above the chamber pots tucked inside the little stair cases.
What I don't understand is how are they holding all these artifacts with their bare hands! Especially the books. Gloves people! Gloves!
Sensidima do some research it is better in bare hands
They are overseen by proper, trained curators who give them the rules and read them the riot act if they don't comply.
Tim Wonnacutt is a professional antiques expert, as well as being a former director of Sotheby's, and would know which items are okay to touch with bare hands.
What I don’t understand is why there has to always be the one response to a comment that is unnecessarily snarky.
Magnificent
The quilted jacket he's wearing at 3:43 is wonderful. Any idea who made it or sells it?
Well hell, it's not gonna let ya open it....maybe you can look it up from there tho..👌
@Real Royalty, can you do a video on Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites?
I love this shOw You are all amazing!
About the turtle soup, I'd never have it cause all I read about how they have diseases that can make some people very sick! Sick like Covid symptoms.😷🤕
🙏🙏
Did NOT expect the Harry Potter line 😅
I adore Rosemary
*#Real** Royalty✍️👍🤝🇬🇧🇮🇩🌎🤝🙏*
In 1555 Queen Mary was queen.....Elizabeth I didn't become queen until 1558.... sorry folks!!
👍👍
🙏🇬🇧🙏
Rosemary is a CHEF, how could she NOT know what "Docking" is?
She needs to present this show to people who might not be chefs. I didn’t know what docking was.
Isn’t this the home from Pride and Prejudice??
Second!
🙏🇬🇧🇮🇩🤝🌎🙏
First!
This great house reminds me of Hogwarts! 😲
Conspicuous Consumption.
Why is turtle soup frowned upon today?
the're on the endangered species list, but I suspect some countries still eat them.
@@fluffybunny3178 Fuzzy bunny slippers for Christmas?
is that when they put him in a can?
Let him out!!
It is hard for me to understand people of England let these people live so wealthy . What do they do beside spend money?
Nope. "travel in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, our longest reigning monarch."
Only now Queen Elizabeth II, Victoria's great,great,great grand-daughter is our longest reigning monarch.
#real royalty... It wasn't Prince Albert's christening and I think it highly unlikely that there was rumpy pumpy going on in that bed since you say the Queen had only 1 month earlier had a baby hetself, or am i missing something?
Harry Potter?? More like Beserk.
Is the thing about the penis piercing real?
Very obnoxious music in the beginning
Omg. The jug ears on that guy
No it's not out of Harry Potter at all do not say such thing about the novels and movies
I don't care if a million years had passed since it's last use, the fact that he touched that commode with his bare hands (16:46) is still disgusting.
Their kitchen is DISGUSTING (to say the least).....killing those poor turtles, shameless people they were. Such excess by 'royalty' .. simply awful. (skulls on a kitchen wall) what he hell positively macabre people in those days. Just AWFUL. I did NOT enjoy this video one ioda.
Not sure if you’re aware but people have been killing animals and eating them since the dawn of time grow up lmao do you say “poor cow” whenever you bit into a burger
Oozing opulence? More like oozing ugly.
When they run out of castles, my life will cease to exist haha
