Welcome back to Duchess - the show that travels to the most historic homes in the UK and Ireland to meet the women who lead them.
For season five, the podcast will be hosted by a fan favourite guest from Season 1 - the Countess of Derby - as she embarks on a fascinating and revealing journey through the history of the Stanley family and Knowsley Hall.
In the season, the countess will learn the truth about Shakespeare’s patronage through Knowsley Hall, we learn about the Earl that became known as ‘the forgotten prime minister’ and how a modern reinterpretation of his legacy is changing this. The countess also explores the family’s iconic connection to horse racing and the life of a man who built the largest private zoo in history.
It’s going to be really special. Make sure you don’t miss it.
This is Duchess.
