Dr. Tracy Borman is an internationally well-known and well-loved historian, broadcaster, and author. Her books are credited with humanizing the Tudors as she shares such details as Henry VIII’s love of puddings and Elizabeth I’s invention of her own perfume. Her nonfiction recreates and brings to life the famous figures of the Tudor dynasty. And her new non-fiction trilogy is described as “luring readers” into the world of Stuart England through the story of Lady Frances with effortless storytelling and vivid details.  Tracy has been part of many historic programs for television, including The Fall of Anne Boleyn, Inside the Tower of London, World’s Greatest Palaces, Private Lives of the Monarchs, Inside the Court of Henry VIII, Majesty and Mortal: Britain’s Great Palaces, Tales from the Royal Bedchamber, and more. Her non-fiction books include Henry VIII and the Men who Made Him; The Private Lives of the Tudors: Uncovering the Secrets of Britain’s Greatest Dynasty; Thomas Cromwell: The Hidden Story of Henry VIII’s Most Faithful Servant; Elizabeth’s Women; The Story of the Tower of London; Witches: A Tale of Sorcery, Scandal, and Seduction; Matilda: Queen of the Conqueror, and King’s Mistress, Queen’s Servant. Her fiction series, the King’s Witch trilogy, includes The King’s Witch, The Devil’s Slave, and The Fallen Angel.  Tracy’s new book, Crown & Sceptre: A New History of the British Monarchy, will be released in the UK later this year and in 2022 in the US. It coincides with the celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Tracy is also Joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces and actually has an office in Henry VIII’s grand palace, Hampton Court.
