Join the Christmas festivities at Balmoral Castle. Meet Margaret Cummins, head housekeeper of Balmoral during the reign of Queen Victoria, as she prepares for the arrival of the royal couple and their nine children. Margaret served the royal family for seventy-eight years, working her way up from the scullery to a position of trust and management. She was a personal confidant of the Queen, very rare in class conscious Victorian England. In this program the audience is the staff, being instructed on the do’s and don’ts of Royal service.
