Lucy Worsley, a renowned historian and moderator, serves as the joint Chief Curator at the Historic Royal Palaces and is celebrated for her role in various BBC programs.
In 2011, Worsley introduced the TV series “If Walls Could Talk” and later hosted “Elegance and Decadence: The Age of the Regency.”
In collaboration with Mark Hills, she appeared in “Antiques Uncovered” in 2012, followed by her notable contribution to the BBC series “A Very British Murder.”
Worsley has been married to her husband, Mark Hines, for over a decade, having tied the knot in November 2011. They initially met in the nineties when Worsley was working for the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. Hines, an architect, has overseen significant renovations and conversions at the BBC’s Broadcasting House.
Despite their public personas, the couple prefers to keep their married life private, seldom commenting on each other in the media. As of 2022, they reside together in a flat in Southwark, London.
In 2020, Worsley made headlines when her husband vetoed her participation in “Strictly Come Dancing,” a decision stemming from an agreement made in 2014 to refrain from joining the show.
Regarding children, Worsley and Hines have not yet become parents, citing their busy schedules as a reason for not pursuing parenthood after nearly a decade of marriage.
Worsley discussed her decision not to have children in an interview with The New York Times in 2018, emphasizing that motherhood does not define her and should not be of public interest.
Contrary to rumors, Lucy Worsley does not have six fingers. The additional pinky finger seen in her photographs is a prop worn during her BBC Four show, “Royal History’s Biggest Fibs With Lucy Worsley.”
