After reading desperately sad letters all day about the death of Princess Amelia it’s time for a little anatomical fun! Iykyk
Please start your day, like I did, with this magnificent French Marshal’s uniform from the Battle of Blenheim (1704)
In my happy place!
Hello from the old Operating Theatre!
Morning commute! Off to a new archive for me 😁
I’m cheating on Windsor Castle today at Hampton Court Palace. Did I mention I love being a historian.
Fueled & ready to storm the castle, I mean archives! Wish me luck, I am on the hunt to figure out who the elusive pot stirrer at court is, she is only ever referred to by a nickname🤞🤞🤞
The planes are awesome at the IWM Duxford but I’m loving “ole Bill” a bus that served on the Western Front in WWI & then was retired & returned to civilian service. I also has the honor of being the 1st bus King George V ever set foot on.
Loving this wedding gown from 1862!
So excited to be back in the Royal Archives & pro-tip — when you are a historian you get to arrive before all of the tourists 😍
