It was a great honour to be invited, as wing-woman to @clairemshanahan, Executive Director of the @womensprize, to a garden party at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the creative industries. As a Tudor historian, I was particularly delighted to see the King’s Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard – created in 1485 to protect Henry VII – in operation in their full Tudor regalia, complete with halberds, ruffs and the new CIII cipher. And because I loved my hat by @jennyrobertsmillinery, here’s a couple more pics showing it off. And the Buckingham Palace lawns do rather put ours to shame but I reckon they’ve got more gardeners.

Come join me on 17 May for a day’s tour of Hampton Court Palace with @andantetravels. Search for ‘study days’. If you’ve been with me before, tell me what you most enjoyed and if you would recommend it to others.
I am very excited to launch my new podcast, NOT JUST THE TUDORS, from @historyhit. Please subscribe at https://podfollow.com/not-just-the-tudors (link in my bio)
Cracking day in the sunshine with this lovely group of people yesterday, touring the Tudor palace at Hampton Court. Can’t wait to see who’s coming on the tour in September! (Book with @andantetravels.)
What a treat (as a judge of the Women’s Prize for NON-Fiction) to get to go the @womensprize for Fiction shortlist party. What a party! Thank you to the sponsor @audible_uk for your generous hospitality. Here’s the magnificent @katemossewriter gracing the stage before a packed room, and a happy meeting with my wonderful fellow judges, @profnicolarollock and @kshamsie. Anyone want to sponsor a non-fiction party next year that would be cool too!

On Not Just the Tudors recently, – what was surgery like for people in the 16th and 17th centuries? – who was Martin Luther, the man who sparked a revolution? – how could a widow seek justice after acts of atrocity in the French Wars of Religion? And, if you listen to the end, there’s an Easter egg… a special NJTT discount code for my course on Henry VIII (it’s not too late to join).
