OTD 1559 Elizabeth I was crowned Queen of England, a moment that is captured at the beginning of Young Elizabeth. So it seems the perfect time to share the design for the paperback with you, out on 27 February 📚

But what an excellent experience it was to feature in this latest Princes in the Tower documentary. It's always a joy to do TV, particularly when the crew and presenters are kind and enjoyable to be around. Not many people get to film in St Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Hall!

What annoys me about this article is that we have Professor Thornton but Ms Borman (not too happy about Mrs Capell either). What is the problem with giving women their proper titles?
