A joyous evening in Chelsea with some dear friends. We had the most delicious dinner before hearing some exciting new research into a rather spectacular painting by Hans Eworth.

Day 8 of bed rest, and onto book number four - it’s Dr Nicola Tallis’ Uncrowned Crown, which I’ve so been looking forward to starting for so long! 🤩

(I also picked it up at Southwark’s Princes in the Tower night, where Nicola kept tempers from fraying too much between each side!)

For our 3rd year of going to the Chalke History Festival, we bought membership, so tickets booked! Excited for a week of history & can’t wait to listen to our fave & great historians including Ali Ansari, Tracy Borman, Dominic Sandbrook, Tom Holland, Dr Nicola Tallis and more!

💜 TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT! 💜
The Trio will be joined by AlfredRJHawkins at 7pm (BST) to answer your questions (& there are lots!), & talk about life as a curator at the Tower. Can’t wait to see our Crowns & Coronets there! 👑 Dr Nicola Tallis Kate McCaffrey Dr Owen Emmerson

A truly magical evening, spent surrounded by magical friends & magical history ✨ Dr Owen Emmerson Dr Joanne Paul
