Tracy Borman is to embark on her first-ever theatre tour this Spring with a very appropriate show as the country prepares for its first coronation in 70 years. Tracy, who also holds the title of Joint Chief Curator for Historic Royal Palaces, is taking to the road with her show entitled

From William the Conqueror to the new King Charles,
Tracy Borman - How To Be A Good Monarch will see the historian sharing some tumultuous tales of the good, the bad, the great and the mad, along with birth, romance, beheading, coronation, abdication, marriage, divorce, disaster, and triumph. With the global fascination in all things royal,
How To Be A Good Monarch will explore the history and evolution of the monarchy from 1066 to the present day. Tracy will take audiences on an entertaining and gripping 1000-year journey from the crown’s earliest history to the institution that it is today.

Aside from Tracy’s thoughts on
How To Be A Good Monarch, she will also be revealing fascinating facts about some of our favourite monarchs through the ages. For example, did you know that Elizabeth I's astrologer, Dr John Dee, doubled up as her spy and went on a number of missions abroad. In his correspondence, he used the code name '007'. Also, that Queen Victoria left secret instructions that on her death, a picture of her former servant John Brown and a lock of his hair were placed in her left hand, hidden from view by a bunch of flowers?
As an author Tracy has written several highly acclaimed books including
Elizabeth’s Women and the Sunday Times Bestseller
Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry Vlll’s Most Faithful Servant. She has also written a trilogy of novels that includes her debut,
The King’s Witch, followed by
The Devil’s Slave and
The Fallen Angel. Tracy’s new book,
Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History, will be published on May 18. (Hodder & Stoughton).
