Monarchs, WWII Heroes, and the Extraordinary Women Who Made History



Born and raised in the UK, I bring a deep passion and wealth of knowledge about the British Royal Family, an institution at the heart of our cultural identity. I offer engaging, one-hour presentations that are both fun and informative—you’ll leave with a richer understanding of the world’s most famous monarchy, seen through the eyes of a local royalist.
But my talks go beyond the palace walls. I also explore the extraordinary women who shaped history—from pioneering suffragettes to the courageous heroes of World War II, including spies who landed in France, codebreakers, and members of the Land Army—shedding light on their remarkable contributions.
If you’re curious about the events and people that have shaped our present way of life, join me for an immersive journey through British history, culture, and the stories of those who made it extraordinary.
For further details or to arrange a presentation, please get in touch - I'd be delighted to share more.
New stories, fresh insights, and more captivating explorations of royal life and the remarkable women who shaped our world.

Enjoy a quintessentially British Afternoon Tea.
