In an epic journey through history’s greatest royal women, from Cleopatra to Grace Kelly, from the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the opulent courts of medieval Europe, Kate delves into the lives of royal women as they navigate political intrigue, family rivalries and personal sacrifices. From Tudor queens, Catherine of Aragon and Lady Jane Grey to Queen Victoria’s contemporaries Yaa Asentewaa of Ghana and Queen Liliuokulani of Hawaii, Kate will describe the women who played pivotal roles in history and teach us about the place of royal women in society today. Kate is a Professor of History and appears regularly on television. She presented The Stuarts and is the royal expert for CNN.
