This week we explore the secret lives of the often overlooked ‘Ladies in Waiting’ who have served the female monarchs of this country and beyond for centuries. We go all the way back to King Henry VIII’s reign to meet a myriad of women who rose through the ranks of society sometimes through their extreme devotion to the Queen and in other instances their total disloyalty and backstabbing! And taking a look at how the role of a Lady in Waiting has changed over the centuries to the ruling female monarchs of today. Joining Kate in the studio is author of a brand new book on the subject Dr Nicola Clark, Historian, Professor Kate Williams and former communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth, Ailsa Anderson.Watch the Royal Beat on True Royalty TV https://trueroyalty.tv/homePlease do subscribe and leave a review.
