Some facts about Queen Victoria; . . ◼ Victoria’s father was Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of the reigning King of the United Kingdom, George III.

Her brother Leopold was Princess Charlotte’s widower. . ◼ The Duke and Duchess of Kent’s only child, Victoria was born at 4.15 a.m. on 24 May 1819 at Kensington Palace in London. . . 👑 On This Day In History, 22nd January 1901; Queen Victoria died aged 81 . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1901 #D22Jan #EmpressofIndia #QueenVictoria #royalhistory #Royalfamily #Victorian #Dukeandduchess #Instaroyals #instahistory #Heritage #History #ukhistory #onthisday #portraitpainting  #HerMajesty #Osborbehouse #Kensingtonpalace #Buckinghampalace #HouseofHanover #VictorianEra #BritishMonarchy #PrinceEdward #dukeofKentandStrathearn #PrincessVictoria . 📷 Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2020 (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oL08Ag_pP/?igshid=1e2lpdtzmiy30

History Happened Here: Hampton Court

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived. When we think of Henry VIII’s reign, a lot of us may feel we are so far removed from

I wrote my second blog post for Peacoat Travels which I cofounded about one month who with my friend Bailey. This time, I wrote about my experience and some of the history I discovered when visiting #HamptonCourtPalace during my UK travels about one month ago. I delve into Tudor History including Henry VIII and the tales about his wives that were so intrinsically linked to the palace as well as touch on the Henry VIII kitchens, William III apartments, and much more. Friends - I would appreciate it you would give it a read. 💞

Bonus points if you catch the Hamilton reference I threw in there.

When Grief Rewrites the Law

In July 2000, the murder of Sarah Payne changed the UK forever. The grief was so absolute that it curdled into rage. We saw mobs of 300 people attacking homes on the Paulsgrove estate, chasing out families based on rumors, and even targeting a pediatrician because they confused the title with "paedophile."

This was the "Name and Shame" era—a moment where the media drove policy and the government scrambled to regain control.

The result was the Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme (Sarah's Law). But 25 years later, is it working?

Our latest report, The Illusion of Safety, digs into the archives to reconstruct the forensic failures that actually allowed Roy Whiting to kill, and why the "controlled disclosure" model we ended up with is both safer and less satisfying than what the public wanted.

It’s a story about the difference between feeling safe and being safe.
