Tim reveals how Princess Victoria was kept under 24-hour surveillance by her mother the Duchess of Kent - such was her paranoia that something untoward would happen to her. The sleeping arrangements while at Shugborough back this up. Victoria slept in the same bedroom as her mother, most likely in the same bed. Tim also tastes the beer still brewed in the estate as it would have been during Victoria's visit and disovers its role in warding off cholera. Plus, Tim tells the story of the host's dramatic crash into bankruptcy after Victoria's visit.
