Series 2, Episode 1: This week on The Royal Beat - Back In Time our fabulous new presenter Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by historians Professor Kate Williams, Gareth Russell and Lady Anne Somerset whose book ‘Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers’ casts a fresh light on Victoria's relationships with the 10 men who led the Government during her reign. We reflect on Queen Victoria’s ever-changing political journey from her close and personal relationship with her first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne to her tense and difficult interactions with William Gladstone. Our experts discuss how these personal dynamics may have influenced the political decisions of the time and, in turn shaped the future of the nation.
