It is a total dream come true to be talking to the brilliant @kyliepentelow on @bbcwomanshour about Regina. We talked about so much, Hatshepsut, erasure of her, Anne Boleyn and Catherine, why we undervalue queens consorts - and how constitutional power progresses in the time of women. I am so grateful.Powerful show today with important words from the Al Fayed Harrods survivors, now nearly 500 have come forward and there was a meeting with the PM yesterday, a great new drug for ovarian cancer and a South London all women living space! So grateful to be on @bbcwomanshour and for the show and all it does for equality and silenced voices. @bbcradio4 by @katewilliamsme

Was there a magical temple built of shells, underground in Margate, Kent???The 1838 Kent Gazette announced that a Shell Grotto would soon be opened to the public. It had been found when an owner of a nearby house commissioned builders to excavate a basement - the builders found a large stone blocking their way and then the Grotto….Most of the shells are British and could have been easily collected in Kent. Apart from some Queen Conch Shells from the Caribbean in the Altar Room and that sounds CONCLUSIVE to me!!! Me finks it was magical…Who built it? And why? I asked the Margate Doughnut and he said it wasn’t him…. by @katewilliamsme

Many congratulations to @kaitlancollins on her award at the White House Correspondents Dinner for best Presidential Coverage - Broadcast. The President greeted this with a selection of remarks including how she just needs to smile….(i think many of us have heard a version of this, haven’t we???)She’s actually a very happy person who is always smiling - she’s just not smiling at DT because she’s asking serious questions about the country and decisions that impact the lives of millions in the US and across the globe and perhaps he might try answering them sometime…. by @katewilliamsme

Tudor fans, rejoice! Today, we’re launching the first of several episodes focusing entirely on the Tudors and Henry VIII. Was he one of the worst domestic abusers throughout history, or was he just... misunderstood?
