Victoria's Secret
Update: 2025-09-23
Description
A widowed queen, a loyal servant, and a friendship that defied every convention of the Victorian age. In this episode, we uncover the unlikely bond between Queen Victoria and John Brown, a relationship whispered about in drawing rooms, condemned in newspapers, and immortalised in legend.
Was Brown simply her devoted attendant, or something far more intimate? From the windswept Highlands to the corridors of Windsor, we follow the trail of letters, estate inventories, and royal fury to ask: what really bound Victoria to John Brown, and why was so much effort made to erase him from history?
