For the next few episodes, we\\u2019re going to be following some of the people who work in our palaces today. We\\u2019ll be exploring how these jobs have a historic context to them, and how surprisingly, there are similarities in the work they do now, from the work that was done in the past.\\xa0

Today we meet Erin, Historic Royal Palaces\\u2019 Wardrobe Manager. We step into the treasure trove that is the costume store and contemplate how Erin\\u2019s job may have existed in the past. To help contextualise this, Curator Charles Farris will then explore the Medieval world of wardrobe management.\\xa0
