What does it mean to eat like a Queen?
Elizabeth gorged on sugar; Mary on chocolate, and Ann was known as Brandy Nan.
Victoria ate all of this and more.

This lecture, based on Annie Gray’s latest book, offers a new perspective on one of Britain’s most iconic monarchs, charting her life and times through her food and drink.
From intimate breakfasts with the King of Fance, to romping tea-parties with her children, and from state balls to her last sip of milk, this is a celebration of appetite, both for food and, indeed, for life.

Minimum age 14.
