Have you ever watched Bridgerton, The Crown or Downton Abbey and wondered what it's really like to be a Duchess? If so, this is the podcast for you. Stately homes are manors, palaces, and castles of great historic significance. They were built by the finest architects, adorned with the finest treasures and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. They were homes to the most powerful families, their wealth and social pedigree shaped the world we live in today. Emma Rutland grew up far away from the world of the aristocracy, but her life changed forever when she married her husband - the 11th Duke of Rutland - and moved into Belvoir Castle.

The Duchess wanted to learn more about this world, these homes, and the other inspiring women who, just like her, work tirelessly to ensure they see tomorrow. In this podcast the Duchess will travel to breathtaking homes, learn the epic tales of their construction, meet the historic figures that walked their halls, hear chilling ghost stories and the heartbreaking tales of romance. All of this whilst getting to know the inspiring, powerful women that work to find the delicate balance between preservation and transformation. Join Emma on a very special journey.
