- Learn the secret language of the fan with your guide Lucy Worsley, then test out your new skills! Learn some of the key phrases and moves you’ll need in order to communicate at the Georgian court: how to introduce yourself, flirt a bit, or just get that annoying courtier to leave you alone…
And once you're ready, try out your new skills with your very own decorative hand fan from the Historic Royal Palaces Shop, just like Lucy is using: bit.ly/hrpshop-fans
Imagine getting friend-zoned by a fan.
Right??
Ha ha
Fan Zoned😂
😂😂😂

When she said to drop the fan, I genuinely thought we were literally meant to drop it... think I need to re-watch the lesson hahah
I've often seen in movies, like "Pride and Prejudice" with Merle Oberon, that young ladies will open and flutter their fan as they walk away in annoyance, disgust or outrage. Glad to know there's a whole lexicon of fan lingo that even artists will incorporate into their works!
I will always watch anything with Lucy in it.
Ah yes. The good Doctor is always charming.
She constantly flirts with the camera.
Me, too.
Cool 😎
Lol it’s so silly, it’s like speaking loudly for all to understand 😂
The last fan holder can be subject to interpretation since it's a still picture. She could've been married or engaged and in the process of fanning the respective speed of each.
Accurate. I use these techniques for warning my companion and not flirting. I've been fascinated by fans since I was a child and had my own fan by four years old. I learnt the ettiquette from a Chinese text translated in English when I was in grade three from our library. They laugh at me before, but now they just feel fascinated especially in fancy parties where I could use it to deny anyone of communication with me hahahahhahahah. Some of them don't understand, but some get the gist of it. I especially love bringing tassels fans out in public when I leave the house.
I love, love fans... since I was really small I remember my mum fanning herself together with the other mums while attending church in the hot spanish summers. So I'm a huge fan of fans lol... pun intended!. Got a huge collection and as soon as the weather changes I do try to have always one in my bag that matches my outfit...Just love it! Thanks Lucy!
Can you say "hot flashes."
Lol.
Thanks Dr. Worsley👑
I immensely enjoy watching Lucy and I have been enjoying the new PBS series with her in it thanks for sharing this clip of the lovely Lucy
The "i hate you" doesn't look like an "i hate you" to my dirty mind though.
It could mean F*** off in which that hand gesture would be appropriate lol
Suddenly I remember that scene from the princess diaries...
My Fan has only 3 settings...
😂😂
Mine has four:
0, 1, 2, and 3
Queen Lucy is back!
2:15, sooo, 😂😂 this is the way Lily acts in front of the poor Mr. Fitzgerald during the ball. Lol. Lily is such a badass. Ref : Silence is Golden, Chpter 9
LOL If I hated someone, I'd just crack them over the head with the fan!!
Lucy Worsley is a LEGEND! 👑💫⚜️
Hi lucy ! I was just at your performance at the old wollen in leeds. I was the lil girl sat at the front. U wont see thi but i wanna say that even tho u said u were shy u are so brave and amazing. I have no regrets if making my dad get me a signed coppy of your book . I have all 4 kids books and want more because they are amasing. I loved the outdit change and everything. Yeah it was worth it
I love it !! Thank you ! I will always watch anything with Lucy.
That is one formidable Historian. We are great admirers here in Santa Monica, CA... 🌴🌴🌴
Fabulous! Yet again, Dame Lucy-I wish-blends history with fun. Watch from Wyoming-Cheers.😷
Love this beauty her programmes are excellent
Fascinating video! Thanks for the education in the language of the fan. I'm sure it'll come in handy when I next visit the palace!
Interesting! I have seen some of these fan gestures on period movies. I didn't know what they were about until this. Thank you Lucy!
I'm with Katie M. I could watch and listen to Lucy all day and all night! She's showing us how to "speak fan?" I'm all in!
This was delightful. Thank you!
Lucy is fantastic!
In enola holmes 2 that's what tewksbury did to tell enola he loves her
Me encanta esta mujer ,es una historiadora inglesa . Aquí en España he visto varios documentales de ella ,sobre personajes históricos. Unos documentales muy buenos muy bien documentados y hechos .Espero que vuelvan a emitirse en España .Lucy me cae genial.💜💜❤️❤️
I just feel so Classy *pinky out*🥰
Let us all gather round and listen! 🤩
Thank you.
That was fun!
I love the fan language I even talk to my friend is it and we love it and we use it all the time
Amazing!!!
thats awesome
I'm going to a regency ball and I've got a fan, I thought it would be fun to learn how to speak with my fan. Not sure anyone else will speak fan but still pretty cool.
I love it
I would be sending all sorts of wrong messages because I can't do left and right.
I fidget way too much for this, I'd be throwing up gang signs and starting a war without realizing 🤣
Imagine just scratching your cheek and accidentally gesture I Love You to a random person 😭
Lmao 😂 I can imagine someone at the background gasping after witnessing a woman dropped a fan to a man 😂
I love the fan language
Love it. What year are we in? They obviously knew their left from their right.
I just whated to know how to hold a fan, now there an entire language for it?!? (Supper cool)
This reminds me of baseball signs. :)
I remember to see another actions for the high victorian era (like "i love you" being a open fan pressed to the heart), for what I've read in a contemporary journal of the period... I'm puzzled now lol.
Do the movements change according to place and time?
I got my fan out 🧍🏽♀️
this is so informative but is it my left &, right or the recipient's left & right
And now to spice things up.... In Tai Chi we were taught how to fight and defend ourselves with fans! 🤣
Carols from the palaces
Talk to the Fan :)
Imagine me scratching an itch on the side of my face and accidentally confessing my love to some stranger.
2:13 Wow.
Anyone else here from Enola Holmes 2?
nice lucy.................hehe ..........nice fan
Here after seeing the Enola Holmes 2
What would be the "neutral" way of fanning?
What does a thworp mean?
😀
And what if you just want to wave it for some air?
The slow wave’s probably a reasonable universal- waving it fast, or ‘fluttering’ it had more specific meaning
I prefer the fan techniques employed by Ms. Sally Rand back in the 1930s :)
I know how to say "Get Away From Me, You Creep!!!" in fan. Just continuously hitting the creep using the fan because I don't wanna scream in church.
I wish she would do something with Nell Gwynne
Fan off be-ach 😮😆😆
That fan needed to be bigger
i would like to use a fan when im bored.
🤣❤️
Cuando dicen te odio, el abanico es arrojado abierto.
"I'm married and my small dog is overheating." That's how I read #3.
Did anyone catch the unbearably cute tiny hand holding the bottom of the fan together in #2?
And I thought I had to be careful when wording my texts .......... 😳
Everyone knows that this language of the fan never existed. It was an advertising booklet from the English branch of the Duvelleroy house, a fan manufacturer in France. How could a historian ignore this!!!!
Here because of the Enola Holmes 2 movie
It is truly a pity that somebody, who is supposed to be learned, lets people think that such a stupid language did exist! If you are truly interested in this matter, and not only kidding, you can read what I wrote for instance in « Faux et vrais langages de l'éventail »,
European Fans in the 17th and 18th Centuries: Images, Accessories, and Instruments of Gesture,
M. Volmert & D. Bucher, ed., De Gruyter, 2019, p. 23-39. (Sorry, it is in French. But some other interesting papers are in English (and German).
In english, you can read "The mystery of love, courtship and marriage" by Henry J. Wenham, where you can find this so-called langage of the fan, and of the hat, the gloves, the handkerchief, the parasol, the flowers, the eyes... Nothing but pure fantasy! archive.org/details/TheMysteryOfLoveCourtshipAndMarriageExplained/page/n3/mode/2up
(de mon côté, je ne suis pas historienne, juste auteure de romans historiques, mais j'ai aussi écrit un petit article de vulgarisation à ce sujet pour expliquer que ce n'était qu'un mythe : www.liseantunessimoes.com/le-langage-de-eventail/)

This is so goofy 😭
I'm going to assume she's a dominatrix
Can't tell if this is serious or not
What a strange creature we are.
Oh FFS 🤦
I respect she is a married lady.. But I have a thing for her.. just a complement
Poor men trying to figure this all out.
Omg this old lie again
What a hoot! I see why THAT went out of style!
