Royal Upstairs Downstairs Scone Palace

The presenters travel to Scone Palace in Perthshire, which was visited by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in September 1842. Tim Wonnacott delves into the monarch's personal diaries and discovers how her request to stay in a ground-floor apartment resulted in her host, the Earl of Mansfield, creating a new suite. Plus, Rosemary Shrager is assisted by food historian Ivan Day in re-creating the Scottish shortbread that was prepared during the royal stay.

My Scottish grandma just used a fork to prick her shortbread - which was beautiful and just melted in the mouth.

This episode with the scones is wonderful! I am faacinated with all the beautiful antique kitchen equipment that Ivan uses for each recipe..lucky guy! I think that the furniture and decor of the Victorian era are so lovely. The craftsmanship is exquisite. I wish you had continued your program. I love it.

More, please!! These are fantastic!

I love scone palace I've been here loads of times

[@mirandawinterbottom8149]

I LOVE this show. The first episode was repeated in Australia this afternoon and yay - all these lovely episodes on youtube!

[@mkivy]

wonderful! I just love the history!

[@narvelancoleman3813]

LOL....Please forgive me...but I couldn't resist! @8:10...'the 'Queen hunkering down to sniff the drawer lining!' I tried not too......but I laughed my head off on that one!

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

The dark blue China on the dining table is fabulous!

[@dbabilas]

Thank you so much for uploading this! Any more episodes coming, pleeease?

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

Rosemary, stop breathing on my 👑 crown. So sayeth the Queen!

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

It's crazy that the owners had to foot the bill for the Queen's whole household.

[@Oscuros]

It was always like that. Some Queens were even worse for it in earlier times, just going around all year staying in country homes, it almost cleaned some nobles out completely, but it always has to be done.

[@GrumblingGrognard]

@21:47 Imagine finding this in your "shed"! I wonder what it would bring on eBay? ;) LOL!

[@unoriented_x4957]

If every single thing is "extraordinary", "remarkable", "incredible" & so on, then nothing is.

[@khalilrossouw2840]

"not many visiting queens go around sniffing drawer linings in stately homes" except you old Tim, the best visiting queen of them all!

[@theorganicnaturalvegan8462]

Are you suggesting he is gay? Because he isn't. He has 3 grown children!!! What about you?

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

@@theorganicnaturalvegan8462 A lot of men have a wife and kids and have a totally separate outside life. A lot don't, but, A lot do.

[@betomontemayor7369]

Are you jealous?

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

No, I divorced him and he can run around with whomever he chooses now🤣

[@ronaldschultenover7591]

Tim is an old queen

He sniffs drawer linings.🤣

Most odd man

[@hazelbrungard1623]

How about a recipe for these scones.

[@dont_talk2me]

The chef is a control freak

[@rogergough5693]

An excellent series. But I find the music irritating and quite unnecessary.

[@poetryjones7946]

I know right?! That music is so annoying & out of place!

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

I agree but also could do without Rosemary.

[@neilabaqui9449]

Antes de colocar a folha de outro tinha que baba todo o doce? Nossa...!

[@Kitty-tc3oh]

It bothers me that @ 16:37, that people are touching the book of how much the lord spend on updating the house and his accounts, but that the book is propped up so that it does not hurt the binding.

[@joyno6010]

The industry standard for handling paper artifacts is clean, bare hands. So this is actually ok!

[@Kitty-tc3oh]

@@joyno6010 Thanks for the FYI!

[@RoseSharon7777]

Doesn't sound like Victoria liked the visit with such a short comment in her Diary. All that money and time he spent!!

[@mari4rindika]

What did the earl get in return for all the troubles?

[@orangecouch]

Ivan is the quintessential mansplainer! Ugh- he makes my skin crawl every time he speaks.

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

I like him alot!!

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

@Kat Harper I missed that show😂🤣

[@johnnyboy5203]

Only 240p resolution? Bleh!

[@brianpulliam8206]

The castle is so drab on the outside they need to spruce it up

[@katherinek2709]

No they don't. You need buildings to represent the periods of history they honor. Victorians wrecked so many classic buildings and monuments trying to "spruce things up"

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

Too many hands in the cookie dough.

[@jebstuart4004]

i love british manors and castles, rich history etc, but i always lol when it talks about cooking. Perhaps the worst food on earth.

[@nflux2971]

I beg your pardon,, look at how you type!... You have the worst Grammar on Earth. Do not like "rich history" if you cannot speak with rich Grammar!

[@christianpatriot7439]

I'd be told HM to stay in her own homeland, i.e., Germany.

[@lulubelleish]

This Really Good .... However I would Like To See Gloves On People Preparing Food. It's Just A Thing With Meeee

[@sarahjoanflynn5749]

I really like this show but the hosts are incredibly annoying.

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

Ivan Day is great. Rosemary needs removed, but the old queen is ok, but why don't Brits fix their ugly teeth? Queen i.e. Would look and sound better with straight teeth.

[@oliviacostello4350]

NothingToNoOneInParticular how rude...

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

Rosemary is so coarse and lumbering. Clarissa Dickson Wright she ISN'T. Ivan should be doing the dessert section on his own.

[@oliviacostello4350]

You’ve commented this twice on this video, she’s a delight! She’s clearly very excited and interested! I honestly would be exactly the same getting to see all these historical delights!
