Queen Victoria moved from her birthplace, Kensington Palace, and decreed Buckingham Palace her official residence on 13th July, 1837. She was 18, newly-crowned - and until then had shared a bedroom with her mother.\nBuilt in 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham, the Palace had never previously permanently housed anyone, and was reportedly drafty, dirty, and staffed by \u2018slovenly\u2019 servants. But, you know, she made do.\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine the escapades of \u2018the boy Jones\u2019 - a teenage stalker of the young Victoria; pore through the pages of the young monarch\u2019s diaries; and reveal which celebrities claim to have got down and dirty in the Queen's official residence\u2026\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 Profile of Queen Victoria from Historic Royal Palaces: https://www.hrp.org.uk/kensington-palace/history-and-stories/queen-victoria/#gs.59mhsd\n\u2022 Buckingham Palace page at the Royal Collection Trust:\xa0\nhttps://www.rct.uk/visit/buckingham-palace/who-built-buckingham-palace#/\n\u2022 \u2018Victoria\u2019s Palace\u2019 documentary (ITV, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUn63ZIELxU\nFor bonus material and to support the show, visit\xa0Patreon.com/Retrospectors\nWe'll be back tomorrow!
