Episode Queen Anne - A Woman of Contradictions with Gareth Russell
Queen Anne was the first Queen of Great Britain, but wasn't supposed to rule. She could be pious and shy, but was also scandelous and scheming. Today, she is perhaps best known from the award winning film, 'The Favourite'.
Anne's impact is clear at Hampton Court Palace, where the ceiling of the Queen's Drawing Room is covered with a glorious homage to her reign.
In this episode, join historian Gareth Russell for a private look at this amazing space, and explore Anne's turbulent story.
