In this new six-part mini-series, we’ll be exploring a selection of treasured spaces in our palaces with the people who know them best, our curators.  

Some spaces will be grand and some modest, some aren’t even open to the public. But each space has been personally chosen by our resident experts to reveal how immersing ourselves in the past can connect us to the present.  

In this first episode we’ll follow Chief Curator Lucy Worsley, into the pomp of Kensington Palace, to a staircase that has a lot more to reveal about the Georgian court than you would think.
