Q&A with Dr. Lucy Worsley | Lucy Worsley's Royal Myths & Secrets

Paul Deslandes, Chair of the History Department at the University of Vermont, sat down (virtually) with Dr. Lucy Worsley, live from her home in London, to discuss her new PBS program "Lucy Worsley's Royal Myths & Secrets" and learn more about her life.

You may have seen Dr. Worsley before on “A Very British Romance with Lucy Worsley” on PBS or on one of her many BBC television series. Lucy is also an author and the Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces.

This interview was recorded LIVE on Friday, June 19, 2020.

Lucy is the history teacher every school needs.

A docu should be made "A Year in the Life of Lucy Worsley" would be amazing !

[ebeth]

Isn't it so wonderful that Dr Worsley's real life personality is just as fun, down to earth, and optimistic as she seems on her documentaries? She's fantastic!

[ruthannemartin]

I adore Lucy Worsley, my interest in history has expanded exponentially due to her.

Dr. Worsley is the history teacher I wish I had when I was in school. She makes learning history fun.

[Foldcat]

Dr. Lucy Worsley could host a series on the analysis of British electric bills & I would cheerfully watch it. Great interview Paul Deslandes, history chair.

[elvermeersch]

Dr Worsley is such a fantastic historian and presenter!

[ConnieM]

It' s easy to see that Lucy is having fun at her job. Her enthusiasm for history is contagious.

[maryharvey]

Smart woman and interesting. Hard to be on TV and not come across as a ditz or dork. Lucy, you have the guts to be goofy in the interest of revealing fascinating details of History. I’m a fan.

[MsSmudge]

Lucy is so sweet, pretty, intelligent, and full of life, with her beautiful accent.

[ShugAveri]

Aw ya gotta love Lucy Worsley with her bubbly personality, historical knowledge and that beautiful black, white and blue book collection :)

[catherinerobilliard]

When Lucy Worsley wears the costume of the era, she draws you into the character, bringing a personal level often missing from history books

[louisxiv]

I'm so happy to hear from Lucy Worlsey. She's a spectacular historian and a consummate hostess. Long live Lucy!

[janetaylor]

I could listen to you, Lucy, all day long and never tire of hearing you. You make everything you talk about so very interesting - thank you.

[walkergate]

Just met Lucy when she'd gotten her car stuck in a ditch but didn't know who she was until someone told me afterwards. She and her friends were all really lovely.
I'm now on a binge watching all her shows!

[candydavis]

I have followed Dr. Lucy for years. Love her! She is so lively, interesting and just darned adorable!
