If you listened to last week's episode you'll know that the story ended on a cliff-hangar! We were dashing out of Westminster Abbey to go and meet Queen Charlotte! Will we get to Windsor Castle in one piece? You'll have to listen to 'The Second Black Queen of England' to find out! I am honoured to be joined on this episode by one of my good friends Sophie Cartman. She'll be playing Queen Charlotte AND Queen Philippa!
