Why isn't anyone criticising Lucy Worsley

Not to mention questioning her taste in hairstyles.



I mean it though

who is she?

I haven't seen her in Dancing Times, what page is she on?

I think susiecb has answered your question, Bags!

susie, a historian. The article is, well, a bit interesting, about the wives of Henry VIII and their modern equivalents. Bit daft really, though appealing to some.

And yes, pedants, I do mean to say A historian because I voice the aitch.

... I read the article ( thanks for the link Bags) and quite enjoyed it..... oh dear!

ogm and * nag*

Why does she keep dressing up?

Interesting what one of the comments says about Anne of Cleves. I never thought of her like that before.

I would have been Catherine Parr.

Sorry Bags. Not in the spirit of your post!

My granny had that hairstyle.

Oh, dear, I fear I am Catherine of Aragon...

I'm definitely Anne Boleyn!

I think she would be better sticking to history rather than trying to make parallels with contemporary feminism. I thought the article (and quiz) was infantile.

Ooooh! Get you ^absent*!

Lucy appears to be too good to be true. Can't help wondering whether or not she has any naughty habits...

I'm not quite sure what you mean, soop - on what are you basing your opinion? I didn't get any sense of Lucy Worsley's character at all from that article...

Or do you mean she just looks like a Goody Two Shoes?

I'm a k. Parr!

Well, I'm none of those women.
I had to laugh though at the picture, underneath it said " L to R Lucy W and Henry V111"
Didn't they think we would be able to tell the difference?

I don't think of Anne of Cleves like that at all. I have read her biography which presented her as 'the one who got off lightest'. She retained her head (!) as well as an income from Henry and a warm relationship with him. I believe she lived as an independent woman with her own household - unusual in Tudor England. So I'll be her thanks; I don't mind being ugly as long as I don't have to sleep with a fat ugly old man

Who"s Lucy Worsley then ? I have searched my paper from back to front and can"t find anything , Bit SO not right when we can"t even get the same news as yous . Mean I call it , nevertheless to show I have a generous heart I will send [[Sunshine and flowers ] if they EVER show up !

nonu, click on the blue writing in my opening post and it will take you to the article.
