When Queen Victoria was a 13-year-old princess she stayed at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire for a few days. Here she was charmed by a water fountain and had her first grown-up dinner (which may have included ice cream made from exotic fruits grown in the Chatsworth greenhouses and which food historian Ivan Day re-creates in this programme). Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and chef Rosemary Shrager retrace Victoria’s steps to uncover fascinating titbits about the preparations that were undertaken for her visits to various houses and castles before and during her reign.
