## Resource

Join us as we review the Royal comings and goings of September 2025. From the sad death of the Duchess of Kent to the bells and whistles of Trump's state visits, September was saturated with Royal news. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were back in the headlines. Toward the end of the month, the Duchess of York saw any credibility she had managed to claw back crumble as unfortunate emails came back to haunt her. In this month's "history corner" we speak to Dr Elizabeth Norton, author of "Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 years of female monarchy.
