- Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and chef Rosemary Shrager visit Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, where a 24-year-old Queen Victoria stayed in 1843.
Victoria had been married for nearly four years but although she adored her husband Albert, neither the public nor the upper classes liked him much. So the spin doctors of the day arranged for him to ride with the famous Belvoir hunt to help boost his image. The day’s sport climaxed with a huge feast boasting a special Hunter’s Beef dish as its centrepiece, which food historian Ivan Day re-creates here.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

I love Tim Wonacott calling the castle Beevah, 😂 I wish that they team up Tim, Rosemary and Ivan in a new series! This cast is golden and the dishes and their history are so sofisticated! The cooks were geniuses! ❤️
Simply because he was German. He actually did more for the UK than Queen Victoria ever did. He was interested in science, progress and social problems
He had far more interest in ordinary working people than she did. She was a bit of a lunatic by most accounts really.
+Cats Chorus. Albert discreetly took care of the official business, so that Victoria could devote herself to their family. Small wonder she missed him so desperately, when he passed away.
@@ClipgathererActually, I’ve never read anywhere that Victoria devoted herself to her family when they were babies, or children when Albert was around.. Actually, thinking on I’m not sure what she did. She didn’t even LIKE even her (any) babies until they were 6 months old. And even after that.🤔
Love this deep dive into Victoria and Albert...one of my favorite subjects.
I love these two! This series is fabulous!
These two hosts are wonderful!
Places and objects named after Albert range from Lake Albert in Africa, to the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to the Albert Medal presented by the Royal Society of Arts.
Four regiments of the British Army were named after him: 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars; Prince Albert's Light Infantry; Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry; and The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade.
He and Queen Victoria showed a keen interest in the establishment and development of Aldershot in Hampshire as a garrison town in the 1850s.
They had a wooden Royal Pavilion built there in which they would often stay when attending military reviews.
Albert established and endowed the Prince Consort's Library at Aldershot, which still exists today.
I'm really enjoying these videos being a history buff and Victoria is one of my favourite topics and the food is glorious to
I could have typed that! We are very similar 🙂
Agree!
I love these two presenters. They always make me smile.
The Brits have the best shows, actors, and presenters. Real people with wonderful skills and talent. Very unlike those that grace US TV.

John Matrix - What type of programming do you enjoy?
Psst: I let you in on a little secret. I love everything from a splendid Opera to enjoyable “low rent” programming. I’m diverse like that. The key, for me, is the joy that the presenters emit, and the information being provided. These two are having a lot of fun! I would not mind touring a castle with them one day.
Have a great day!
It never occurred to me that the housekeeper was in charge of the lotions and potions!
Very interesting indeed
She is enjoying that meat a little too much. Lol
Hey now... 🤣
OHHHH you're talking about 14:43 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@iLitAfuseiCantStop yes I was.... Lol 😂😂😂😂
@@foreverloved129 Thank the good lord she's post menopausal, otherwise I think a pregnancy test would be in order 🍖👶🏼 🤣🤣🤣
In Texas its meat candy.
This is definitely one of my favorite TH-cam channels!
If there was ever a candidate for effective birth control it was Queen Victoria. She and Albert apparently couldn't keep their hands off each other but she resented like hell having so many children. From what I've read Albert seemed to enjoy his children but I don't think Victoria felt the same way, especially the oldest one Edward. And the feeling was mutual. She accused him of actually killing Albert. Having your mother say that to you has to be awful. Albert died of typhoid fever, which could have been from the bad drainage at Windsor castle or just about anywhere else.
She thought her infants looked like frogs.🤣
As a Queen she was expected to be a brood mare. She didn't want all the kids but she had to have them. Thank the gods Albert loved them.
@@SAnn-rf3oz well, I have known a few ladies who found their children funny looking. Didnt stop them from being great mothers. But then Vic had a really difficult relationship with her own mother, so not the best role model to learn how to parent.
It's very possible that Victoria suffered from fairly severe Post Natal Depression after her deliveries and, let's face it, being pretty much constantly pregnant for so many years couldn't really be very enjoyable for her. As for how babies look as newborns, I agree with many people of my own generation that all babies look like Winston Churchill.
@@bunnyslippers191 bunny slippers 🐰🐇💚🤣
Very little of this video had anything at all to do with Albert. Kind of a clickbait title. I'm disappointed.
Agreed!
Welcome to youtube
Samantha Brooks this is typical of the bait we are subjected to. I get so annoyed at the waste of time.
Thanks for the heads up, you saved me some time.
Right. Like "Royal Upstairs Downstairs Ep ## - Belvoir Castle" wouldn't have sufficed.
He does look like Colin Firth, spitting image. 😂I love you Tim and Rosemary and Chef Ivan. Much love from Boston, MA USA.
Prince Albert sure found the “...keys to sex-ess!” 😂🤣 I read once that one of the things Queen Victoria missed so much after her beloved Albert died was all the great sex they had had together...but she HATED being pregnant. Even back then a Queen had to make big sacrifices. 😕 👸🏻 👑 🤴 👑 ❤️ 👶🏻
- COUGHS - aha-
Lol how do u know that... Lol I can't imagine her writing that in her diary hee hee
@@sophianaqvi3697 Well of course I don’t know if it’s 100% true, obviously. I heard of it in a couple of documentaries and in a biography about her. None of those are pure 100% I’m sure, but just thought I’d mention it as it is kinda funny I think. Maybe to some ppl they didn’t find it a little funny, which I could care less about certainly I cannot control how others think or feel about what I say or do. However, if I did offend you in any way, I apologize. This comment was NOT meant to be taken THAT seriously. I just thought it was a funny little tidbit to share, that is all. Thank you , @sophiaNAQVI !! 😊
Hence the modern day 'Prince Albert'
@@jamescharcoal3472 oh umm I’m sorry, your Royal Highness, hadn’t seen you there 😬
3:32 colin firth just went back in time to get a portrait done
That braising pan reminds me of a very fancy Dutch oven. Same principle. I've seen reenactors cook everything from stews to breads and cakes in them.
3:30 "Is it me, or does he look like Colin Firth"? Now that you mention it...
That castle is absolutely beautiful!!
Love these videos!
For one thing he thought the English were beneath the Germans. Another thing he'd thought or was made to believe that Victoria would be able to make Parliament agree to give him the title of King so they'd be equal. He hated the fact that he had to bow to his wife and walk behind her at public functions. He also felt disrespected by her advisors and the Prime Minister. That's why there are so many memorials to him in Britain today. When he died she kept honoring him with so many statues & named a lot of buildings in his honor so the British would never forget what a great man he was and what he had done for the English. But it wasn't just honorary. Prince Albert was very smart and very progressive and he adored his children. The British do owe him a lot!
I'm so jealous of that massive kitchen
say what you will, but Albert was handsome AF and Victoria knew it!
He was also her 1st cousin....
Iraq Sometimes Sun`nï Sometimes Shïïte Coulda been worse, Albert’s stepmom was his cousin because his dad married his niece. Also yes Albert was quite good looking. Especially when compared with the previous generation of English royals. There’s a reason Coburg was the “stud farm” of Europe
No he wasn’t 😂
Handsome for his time. Yes.
queen victoria s life time biography or her real life stories just tells that she was just not a normal queen , she was queen who ruled and lived like a king. it is actually been observed that this way she lived i mean like a king before and after she became a widow of windsor.Her life at widow hood was depressing for her but yet she came back to normal were secretly she enjoyed her life , which i think women in 19 century may not be able to do especially when they were widow .
@Kandy Kandy yes because the long list of executed king consorts really show that
@Kandy Kandy hmm but surely there has to be with there being no difference in the lives of male and female monarchs.
@Kandy Kandy lol your writing in all capitals to write delusional bull💩. Did the monarchy pass along the male line or the female line? Did gender play a role in who could inherit the crown? Didn’t Henry the 8th take Mary out of the line of succession because he feared that his family would loose the throne like previous dynasties that went extinct because they lacked a legitimate male heir? Didn’t Elizabeth 1st use the fact she was a woman to form alliances? Clearly those English skills haven’t helped inform your opinion of history if you couldn’t deduce the differences in gender from ANY simple GCSE text. Ps my first comment was sarcasm. There’s no list of executed kings but there is a list of executed queens even a child could tell you that.
That dark hallway looks like something out of a horror movie
Love these episodes,thanks!
I always make my stews and pot roasts with beer and onions.
Momster Mom .....what kind of beer do you use?
I use wine and onions, but then my grandfather had a vineyard of wine grapes.
@@WyattRyeSway the darker the better in our house but any old bottle/can will do.
Beevah!!! Got me laughing so hard at the name 😂! I love Tim!
Those copper pots and pans are beautiful.
I love these videos!
These are great I hope you add the whole season
Albert and Victoria really were the true, real life fairytale couple. Even before the glorification of character that often comes after someone's died, she was already writing about him as if he were the light and center of her life. She stood by him when no one else did and in turn he knew just how to make her happy.
I'm loving this show
the hosts are so over the top. I love it
Love watching the kitchen. Wish I could travel like u guys do.
I used to love going to castles and historical buildings, I can’t wait to do that again
@@oliviacostello4350 wow. Hope you r able 2. I know that castles have much history. But there's nothing like being there personally. The experience and sight must be much greater than I expected it to. Hope u make it back and enjoy what like doing best. Bless
Aw.. this really hurts my feelings!
14:32 Dang! Get it girl! Ivan was definitely caught up LOL
i would love to try these tasty dishes they make each episode
Rosemary reminds me of Clarissa and Jennifer in the best way! I love her!💕💕💕
Ive never seen a woman get so excited over beef . Lol i thought she was gonna climax at first .
When she took off her watch 😂
"I need to get my hands on it"... Is it me or she sounds as if she's been missing 'something' in her life?
😂😂😂😂💀💀
Bit of a whopper handful to much meat to handle. 🤣🤣
G Insight made me want to puke.
beautiful view in french is Belle vue
This reminds me of corned beef. Because of the pepper and marinade.
Omg as Tim was about to describe that painting of the host I instantly thought Colin? Kings speech chose the right actor lol
Annoying click bait. Please label your videos correctly.
I wish they would stop calling Vixtoria "HRH", she was Queen, "Her Majeaty", not HRH.
@Jane Marsee yeah I understand that but Rosemary says it early on in THIS (Belvoir Castle) episode, where Victoria was already married and so she was clearly already Queen.
What’s the difference? Please educate me
@@vr6535 basically if you're the one on the throne, it's majesty. If you're related enough to the person on the throne, it's highness.
me notyou42 ahhh good to know!! Thanks!!
How many servants were required to maintain this magnificent palatial home? I assume the indoor staff was quite big if you take in the consideration that Belvoir castle has 356 rooms. It is the seat of Manners family for more than five hundred years.
Wow that's a spacious kitchen!!??
I always feel bad for Ivan. He initiates and works on these beautiful dishes and never gets to partake in them.
Hopefully Ivan got a sandwich from the leftovers 😋 🥪
I am sure he does a test run of the dish (along with the other contenders) to see what comes out the best for the show, which takes a lot, to become the highlight of the program. He surely then tastes whatever came out looking the best, and was easy enough and interesting enough to make, and gets to sample everything then!
Careme did a lot for what patisserie, cookimg,baking is today for everyone. He studied building and architecture and used that as a basis for much of baking and sculpting in sugars and pastries .
3:29 Did he say "Colin Furze"? LOL
@MSI2k He said Colin Firth, he is an English actor. Look him up he is a wonderful actor.
That looks yummy!
I am so glad the days of those hunts are over. Must have been terrifying for the animals!
Unfortunately hunting for sport isn’t over... such a shame
❤❤❤
I'm going to propose to Ivan.💚💙
These presenters seem a bit rough. Like they are making fun of their subject.
porte caucher would roughly translate to carriage door or entry, but gate makes sense
Porte cochère
The only old queen here is Tim! 😂🤣😆
Oh because he was german German, so german that today's Britsh throne is 75% german.
I wish the video had shown the Manners family. They are kind of tabloid famous.
3:30 ah yes, Mr Darcy
Do they actually still keep all those dogs there? What for?
Queen Victoria was *NOT* HRH, she was styled HM (i.e. Her Majesty). Sort of drove me bonkers to hear them keep saying that.
Please list the recipes
16 days for an uncooked brisket to be 'cured' seems a bit much. Was there no chance that it was going to spoil, despite all that salt?
Rubbing the Brisket: Rosemary gets sent to horny jail. Bonk!
Yes that scene did get a bit steamy ....
@@fluffybunny3178 🤣😂🤣😂
It's not you. He DOES look like colin firth :)
The funniest part is how their portray the vile food of the day as the high point of cooking. Really they just made really "rich" tasting meals from extremely expensive ingredients. I am actually quite convinced that the victorians would have loved VIetnamese food.
A lot of the point of the Victorian period seems to be either pretending to enjoy terrible things (like aspic) or pretending not to enjoy amazing things (like sex), all for the sake of appearances.
I love Vietnamese food!
Quite right, though I believe a Victorian would never admit to enjoying Vietnamese food
@@WyattRyeSway So do I, Pho is one of my favorite breakfasts.
What is "hunted" now? Just curious.
Are the hosts dating? They seem so warm towards one another.
19th century citizen's having a hatred for Albert made no sense whatsoever considering the fact Victoria, her mother and uncle all were German!! So, what's the difference? Was it the fact he was born on foreign soil and people feared disloyalty? That wouldn't make sense either. Wasn't Victoria born in Germany or was she born at Kensington? Please refresh my memory here. Not from England..... No haters, please.
Remember it was Albert who lost the most by leaving his homeland to take up and marry outside his homeland. In addition he was prevented by Parliament from being styled as 'king' alongside Victoria. The best he got from Parliament was consort status to the Queen.
OFF-TOPIC Q: In another video a historian read from a written account of Albert on his deathbed. Apparently, he seemed eager, reconciled and resigned to die. What I can't understand is, WHY? Why would he be sooo eager to die so young and with such a large family to leave behind? It would seem to me that given all his accomplishments he would want TO live.....to live a full life. I'm sure it was not for want or lack of love. Victoria loved him immensely. Any ideas why?
What were they hunting?
Yet, he's called "Albert the Good".
One MercilessMing if you read up on him , he brought a lot of innovation to Britain and efficiency to many of their institutions.
OmG what a rub!
This doc is missing one thing: LUCY WORSLEY
Before it disappears down your .... What??? Lol
He was in the Tin.
Let him out.🤣
@@SAnn-rf3oz I think dost show our age.

I am not ashamed!!🤣😂🤣😂💚
If you're making corned beef, why would you roll it up first?
The lavish lifestyles of the British elite was astounding...and a bit disgusting when you think of the wretched poverty of much of the population.
However, these were working estates and they employed much of the entire county. With the lavish lifestyles of these Dukes and Earls, all those who were in their employ back then, would not have had work otherwise. And it went on that way until WW1, which took the lives of millions of young men, from the most wealthy to the most poor--they all fought for their nation. But many didn't come back home, altering the way the classes interacted thereafter. And not always for the better!
Isn't it just corned beef?
No. Corned beef is brined.
14:36 - 15:00 lol
Probably because the still fox hunt on the quiet even though it's now illegal ,but these upper crust hunting types dont care.There have been hunts that have been filmed,by anti hunting people .
Sort of click bait' ..............why did the public dislike prince Albert?
@WithoutACrystalBall 😳
🙏
Wow! The Dooms? They treated humans like 💩
6:58 why is there an imperial german flag from ww1
sad about the loss of hunting culture and land access in England; have they taken up drag hunts? You don't have to kill anything to run the hounds and have a great ride.
16:11 is like the gates of Heaven must be
👍😄

Why Did The Public Dislike Prince Albert? Because he spent all day in the can. :-)
He was disliked because he was viewed as a foreigner (he was German) and he came from a lower royal house. Him being viewed as a foreigner isn’t fair because the British royal family at the time, the Hanovers, were German. After the death of Queen Anne, the closest Protestant royals who could inherit the British throne were the Hanovers. Victoria and Albert where first cousins. After the self indulgent nature of the Hanovers, Albert did a lot to better the public image and reputation of the royal family.
Victoria after each pregnancy relegated a lot of her power and support to Albert to the point he was all but King in name (cabinet would never allow Albert to be declared a king, but he was eventually named Prince Consort). He was a visionary that often got criticized for this views. While Albert did a lot of great things, he did gain too much power for his own good and his eventual death in 1861 was probably for the best. (Sorry Victoria!) While Victoria had Albert had a very passionate and loving marriage, he toned down a lot of Victoria’s personality and assumed more of her power. Though his death caused Victoria to be in mourning the rest of her life, she is remembered as a great ruler. Had he lived, I am unsure how the current royal family would be.
Some of it also had to do with Princess Charlotte’s widower, Prince Leopold who was paid a very large pension after her death. Britain’s resented that and didn’t want a repeat. As we know, they didn’t have to worry as Victoria well outlived Albert.
Had Albert lived, I strongly doubt WW1 would have happened!
I'm tea
it's HM not HRH........
Because he took over the can, and and people need to use the loo.
Perhaps because he was always in the can.
🙏🇬🇧🙏
On the start of his reign, he was the most popular King! Not to mention Victoria, his mother, locked in the Windsor castle, bored&boring as she was
Anti German?
Victoria was almost as German as he was.
Logic has never been the mob's strong suit.
because he lived in a can?
Look a Dutch oven!
Rosemary is really great at rubbing meat!
These Brits don’t even know that the queen is not an HRH she and all monarchs are a HRM-royal majesty
What are you talking about? The monarch is styled His/Her Majesty, and all other royal family members of the princely rank are styled His/Her Royal Highness.
Albert was German not British. I can’t believe he made decisions that were in the British best interest. He was not monarch, but was power hungry.
Look, my parents aren't native born to my country Australia, but they chose to come and live here, love the place, have lived here for decades, and certainly have done as much good as they can for the people here. No reason to think Albert was any different.
That is why he kept Victoria pregnant, to take over her duties.
I don’t think he was power hungry. It is all about men’s attitudes toward women, he wanted to be the man in the marriage. He also wanted something to do with his life that was meaningful to him and would benefit the country. He was a citizen of England, so being the husband of the Queen he felt a need to do for England and the people. What has Phillip done for the country?
@@toriblocker3238 Philip has worked all his life for Britian. He served in hte Navy and worked for charites and for the Royal family.
