Henry VIII's love token secured by British Museum after centuries lost
Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon's marriage didn't last - he divorced her in 1533 - but a golden heart pendant linked to their union did survive, and has now been secured for permanent display at the British Museum.

in 1840, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert. Unusually for brides of the time, she wore a white dress, a symbol not so much of purity than of wealth, which proved immensely influential. 📸 Getty

Watching Pride and Prejudice and one of my favourite scenes is when, after Lizzie refuses Mr. Collins's proposal, Mrs. Bennet chases her and there are geese all around!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the Pride and Prejudice first edition facsimile is stunning - and also out TODAY! Read Darcy and Elizabeth's story as the first ever readers would have in 1813.
