Lucy Worsley OBE is an accomplished historian and author. Her nonfiction books include Courtiers: The Secret History of the Georgian Court (2011) and Jane Austen at Home: A Biography (2017). Her work as host of the BBC's A Very British Murder led to her publication of a book by the same name (2014). She has gained worldwide acclaim as a presenter of BBC Television and Channel 5 series on historical topics, including the History's Biggest Fibs series and the four-part television series If Walls Could Talk, which explored the history of British homes, from peasant cottages to palaces. Worsley is joint chief curator at Historical Royal Palaces.
Worsley was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to history and heritage. The Investiture by Charles, Prince of Wales, took place at Buckingham Palace
D. Brenton Simons OBE has served in the leadership of American Ancestors - New England Historic Genealogical Society, the nation's flagship genealogical institution, for more than 30 years.
