Historic Royal Palaces Podcast

Historic Royal Palaces are a team of people who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. This fortnightly podcast brings you the history and stories of those palaces.

You’ll hear from our experts and the people who bring our palaces to life, as we create space to explore how history moves us, telling stories about the monarchs you know, and uncovering the lives and histories of the people you don’t.

Just like our palaces, this podcast is a mix of old and new. Each episode will have a different feel, from previously recorded live talks, to exciting new discussions and discoveries. You’ll have every opportunity to share in the history we love.

Elizabeth I - The Women Who Shaped a Queen

Nov 7, 2024

Elizabeth I was profoundly shaped by the women around her, and this series will explore these pivotal relationships throughout her life. 

Joint Chief Curator Tracy Borman opens our series with Dr Nicola Tallis, and together they explore the young Elizabeth, before she came to the throne. The formative relationships she experienced during this time shaped the queen she would become; her mother Anne Boleyn, her stepmother Katherine Parr, and her sister Mary I.  

Read about Elizabeth's Summer with Katherine Parr at Hampton Court, and see the book Elizabeth embroidered as a gift for her stepmother.  

This is the first episode in our Elizabeth series where we explore the women who shaped a queen.
