Lucy Worsley is one of television's best known historians, and is Joint Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, a position she will step down from at the end of 2024.

Female stories have been at the heart of Lucy’s TV work over the last 15 years, and she has reframed historical events through the lens of female experiences which are often neglected in retellings of history. Her biographical documentaries about Jane Austen and Agatha Christie brought those familiar figures vividly alive as women, while her Royal Bodies series and Tales From the Royal Bedchamber took a refreshingly human look at British monarchs through the lens of their health and sexuality.

Her many films since then have spanned the genres of History and Arts, and in 2023, she turned her hand to quiz mistress and hosted Puzzling for Channel 5.

Lucy has written numerous well-received non-fiction books as well as two fiction books for children and most recently published her biography of Agatha Christie. Lucy is also known for her podcast which offers a revisionist feminist perspective on historic female criminals. It was named one of the BBC’s most downloaded podcasts of 2022. Lucy is passionate about making history engaging to the widest possible audience and balances her career as a writer and broadcaster. She was appointed an OBE in 2018 for services to history and heritage.

Lucy offers a wide range of keynote speeches on subjects such as Agatha Christie and Jane Austen. She has worked with Tripsmiths across many tours and cruises around the world, and is available for panels and conference hosting too.
