Welcome to our Royal Romance season.
On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Pairs that never got together.
The couples in question were considered by the powers that be, or they took a fancy to each other, but they either weren’t allowed to follow through with their plans, or fate decided otherwise.
We’re looking at four such couples today, Richard III & Isabella of Castile,
George I & Queen Anne, Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Queen Victoria,
And finally, Prince Eddy a.k.a. Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale & Empress Alexandra.
It is always curious to ponder how different history would be if certain events had developed differently.
To talk of these would-be couples, as well as touch upon the alternative history that we never got to know, we have historians Chris Riley and Catherine Curzon.

On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Couples who faced revolutions and regime changes in their countries.
Did love survive the turmoil? Was the throne lost forever? If they didn’t love each other, could the outcome have been different?

Charles I and Henrietta Maria, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and of course, Nicholas II and Alexandra.

"Katharine of Aragon: Spanish Princess: I Am Not as Simple as I May Seem", published by Amberley Books.
Let's re-evaluate what we know of Katharine, as the daughter of Spain. What family drama did she leave behind? What was going on the continent when Henry was trying to divorce her? Did the change of Pope affect Katharine's fate?
Heather dives deep into Katharine's youth and busts myth after myth. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you know of this great Queen.

Today our guest is Ashley Wood, and we’re talking about his new Amberley Published book - Henry’s Shadow, which tells us about the life and times of John Morton, a cleric who was a very important figure during the Wars of the Roses.
John Morton was born during the reign of Henry V, with the memory of Henry IV still in the air, and died during the reign of Henry VII, with a future Henry VIII being a boy.
What was this man like, who did he side with, and how did he manage to survive in such perilous times? Let’s hear it from Ashley.
