Join Kate for an incredible and exhilarating tour of the world and its royal women, from early Egypt to Mesopotamia to the glittering Tudor Court to the modern day, from Cleopatra to Grace Kelly, this epic new history of royal women shatters the myths we have built around them and explores a life behind closed doors.
Historian, broadcaster and bestselling author Professor Kate Williams leads us into the world of queens, empresses, princesses and ladies in waiting, and goes to the heart of women and power. This dramatic and beautifully illustrated event takes you to archaeological sites, palaces and wonders of the world – stories of intrigue, plots, love and power, and the secrets of women’s lives.
Professor Kate Williams is a bestselling author and broadcaster, and an award-winning academic. She has published ten bestselling historical books and presented many shows on the BBC and Channel 5, including Restoration Home, Inside Versailles, and Secrets of the Royal Palaces; as well as appearing on shows from The Great British Bake Off to winning Celebrity Mastermind; a celebrity expert on The Wheel, and a contestant on Pointless Celebrities, plus covering royal events.
She also presents a podcast Queens Kings and Dastardly Things and gives lectures all over the world. Her latest book, REGINA, out June 4th, about the history of royal women across the ages, comes after successful books including England’s Mistress (“Wonderful” – Washington Post), Rival Queens (“Brilliant” – Telegraph) and The Royal Palaces (“Fascinating” – Mail).
Join Kate for a thrilling – and funny – tour across the world – and queens.
