LUCY WORSLEY QUEEN VICTORIA

In May 2019, Worlsey’s Queen Victoria speech, following his 2018 book Queen Victoria: Daughter, Wife, Mother, Widow (St. Martin’s Press, August 1, 2018), included comments that Albert, Prince Consort did not deserve all the honors he had received.Lucy Worsley Speech

Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley – Winner’s Acceptance Speech, Factual Specialist, Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards in 2019
Thank you to the BBC for entrusting us with the making of this film. Thanks to BAFTA for giving us the award. Thanks to Zinc Media. Thank you to our incredible young actors who played our suffragettes so brilliantly. Thanks to my amazing team; only a small proportion of them are here now, but they were just amazing. Thank you to the most talented director, Emma Frank. And finally, thank you to the amazing Lucy. She is such a star.

LUCY WORSLEY: We loved doing this program, but we were also, I think, all of us left with a bit of a feeling of unfinished business.

Our favorite people at the Women’s March last year, maybe you saw them, they were people dressed as suffragettes, the ones with signs that said, ‘It’s 100 years later and it’s is still a bit lame. Yes!

Thank you so much.

INTERVIEW WITH LUCY WORSLEY

Lucy Worsley: ‘Johnny Depp lifted me up at Hampton Court’

The historian and co-chief curator of Historic Royal Palaces on having to wear a bib on set to her TV shows and the risk of prosecco exploding

Henry VIII’s kitchens at Hampton Court had 200 staff in 55 rooms. These days, when the spit in Henry’s kitchen is turned and the meat is roasted – properly – for our visitors to see, it takes a lot of resources. But totally worth it, well done. It’s melty and delicious.

My own office life at Hampton Court is a bit of a picky eater. It is miles from anywhere, next to the courtyard of the chapel, at the back of the palace, up a spiral staircase of 51 steps. You can’t just eat a sandwich. If we go out it’s downstairs and then just opposite the canteen, which is more popular, if you will, than Kensington Palace, but has a very good salad bar.
I am very interested in Queen Victoria’s early years at Kensington Palace. She was born in the dining room because there were stairs leading to hot water in the kitchen. Her food was controlled and she was still somewhat dysfunctional in her diet as a result. She gorged herself. And she used food as a tool to negotiate with adults.

As a child I ate all kinds of vegetables because my mother was a hippie and grew them all and made our clothes. We lived the suburban lifestyle of a 1970s college professor. I helped dig up potatoes, a very important part of our lives. Mom made blackberry jam and rosehip syrup.

I would go camping with dad a lot and we would make food out of packages, which I weirdly loved as an adult. You just add water, like Angel Delight.
Dad is a retired physical geographer, apparently. If I say ‘geologist’ he would say ‘I’m not that hardcore’. Once he and I took a Land Rover to Iceland with great boxes of dry ingredients. We have been there more than once and I was under 10, but we have never had Icelandic food. We had hash in packets, created by adding water. We carried everything, including a Mars Bar a day, which certainly wouldn’t have been allowed if the mother was there.

My brother and I hid chocolates from our parents. We had a secret stash of Curly Wurlys. And there was a bottle of red liquor in our parents’ beverage cabinet. We would drink it and top it up with water so it was diluted and paler and lighter until it was almost clear. There was a wolf on the label so we called it the Wolf Drink.

When I was about 13 my mom had a slipped disc and had to lie on her back, so I became the family cook for six months and enjoyed it. She always considered herself – and still does – to be the best cook. I was the suitor; I never took the crown.

In college, I cooked for three years in camping gas pots in my bedroom. It was completely illegal and when I think of the risk of fire in a historic building, I shudder. I used to make lentils, stir fries and – to try to impress my friends – chicken in a white sauce.

I gave up driving, so I do my shopping every day on the way home – but I was driving a lot. I used to visit castles for English Heritage and even when I worked at Bolsover Castle and went to the University of Nottingham to do research in the evenings, a great place to eat on the way home was the Leicester Forest East service station (on the M1). The other place I liked was Little Chef. If I was staying alone in a Bed & Breakfast, I would be very happy to drive to a little chef and enjoy vegetarian lasagna. It was a nice part of my routine.

I especially liked dressing up as a flapper. I was beaten twice. But I care not only about the clothes they wore, but also what they represented. Released early, making money, having the right to vote, her potential husband probably died in the war, that kind of independence. Flapper equipment is very good for eating, because it is free and unrestricted. But as soon as they turn off the cameras, they put a bib on you, to prevent any food on your costume. On the set of a TV history show, there are people dressed as, say, Tudors, with large sheets of plastic over their padded skirts, dresses, and bodices.

Prosecco bottles exploding in our freezer at home – because we put them in the fridge, then forgot they were there – happen more often than they should. But that’s just one of the risks of the prosecco lifestyle.

Johnny Depp was filming at Hampton Court and I had a date with him. When I told my boyfriend, now husband, he was pretty pissed off and slammed the phone. I would have taken Johnny to Henry’s kitchen and so on, but he didn’t show up. So, I went to the party where I originally wanted to be, and everyone was like, “Aren’t you supposed to be dating Johnny Depp?” My boyfriend had made capital by standing up for Depp.

We’re holding, in storage, Princess Margaret’s 1960s [Kensington Palace] melamine fitted kitchen. The conservatives of the future will be interested in it.

My Favorite Things Fresh Risotto
Foods .
If you do it for other people, they are unduly impressed. People have this idea that risotto is hard to make. Get the talent and it’s super easy.

Drink
Cocktails, especially in jazz bars. What I thought was adult life. I always have this romantic idea that adults are in a cocktail bar having a good time.

The restaurant
I’ve never found since, but our family still talks about it – how we stopped somewhere random on the way to Devon and ate fish and chips from heaven.
