My Royal Life: An Audience with Lucy Worsley

Step into a glittering royal world with Lucy Worsley, who returns to the Cornwall Playhouse in 2026. Lucy is a beloved historian and bestselling author, who spent twenty years working as Chief Curator in some of Britain’s most marvellous palaces.

Step behind the scenes and into the history of the royal residences she came to know so well, from Hampton Court’s Haunted Gallery, to the gilded apartments of Kensington Palace. Along the way, we’ll meet some of Britain’s best-known queens and kings, and find out what Lucy really thinks of them.

With her trademark warmth and scholarly sparkle, this evening will lift the lid on royal life over the centuries, introducing you to its pageantry, and sometimes, its pain. Prepare to be entertained, enlightened, and thoroughly charmed as Lucy reveals the secrets, stories, and splendours of Britain’s royal past.
