Description
Lucy Worsley is Chief Curator of the Historic Royal Palaces and a leading young historian. With that, Lucy is more than qualified to take readers on a historical tour of Kensington Palace, as she does in her new title 'Courtiers'. The book tells the story of the Georgian court from the perspective of the numerous royal servants for whom the palace was home, while throwing new light on the dramatic life of George II and Queen Caroline.
