  • BRIEFING Why Did the House of Lords Elect a Speaker?
    THE LORD SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS - BRIEFING Why did the House of Lords elect a Speaker? On 12 June 2003 the Prime Minister’s Office announced changes including an end to the judicial function of the Lord Chancellor and his role as Speaker of the House of Lords, the creation of a Department for Constitutional Affairs and new arrangements for Judicial appointments. The House of Lords appointed a select committee on the Speakership of the House in 2003 and again in 2005, both chaired by Lord Lloyd of Berwick. The committees’ recommendations form the basis of the arrangements for a Lord Speaker which the House has agreed. What were the election arrangements? 5 June 2006 (5pm) Closing date for candidatures 6 June 2006 Candidates list published and sent to all members of the House of Lords, together with a statement of each candidate’s parliamentary service, their entry in the Register of Lords’ Interests, and election addresses of up to 75 words 7 June 2006 Ballot papers for those requesting a postal vote 28 June 2006 (10am to 8pm) Voting 4 July 2006 (2.30pm) Result announced How was the result announced? On 4 July the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer of Thoroton, processed into the Chamber for prayers for the last time. The Clerk of the Parliaments announced the name of the successful candidate after prayers (i.e. shortly after 2.30pm). The Lord Chamberlain signified Her Majesty’s approval from the Despatch box. The new Lord Speaker then took over the Woolsack from the Lord Chancellor. Does the role of the new Lord Speaker differ from

  • Queen Victoria Transcript
    Queen Victoria Transcript Date: Tuesday, 20 September 2016 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 20 September 2016 Queen Victoria Professor Vernon Bogdanor FBA CBE Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first of a series of six lectures on British sovereigns since Queen Victoria, and it will conclude next summer with a lecture on the Queen. My aim in these lectures is to try to answer two questions: the first is how our system of constitutional monarchy has evolved since the 19th Century; and the second is what is the role of constitutional monarchy in a modern democratic state. This first lecture is on Queen Victoria, but first, I have a confession to make because I fear I cannot possibly compete with the television series, which seems to have transfixed the nation, and soon we will know every detail of the Queen’s private life in the early years of her reign, but I cannot help feeling that the television series is not really about Victoria, Queen of England and Empress of India, but about an entirely different character – Victoria, the telly star – and indeed, I sometimes felt as if I had intruded upon an episode of Downton Abbey by mistake! I suspect that Queen Victoria would have responded to the series by using words often attributed to her, but which she never in fact used, the words being “We are not amused.” But whether that is right or not, I fear there will be nothing in this lecture on the Queen’s love life, about which I know nothing. Instead, I will concentrate on a theme which I am sure you will all find much more exciting, namely, the constitution! In June 1837, a young girl of 18 was woken at Kensington Palace and told by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain that her uncle, William IV, was dead and that she was to be Queen of Britain, or England as the Victorians used to call it, ignoring the susceptibilities of the Scots, Welsh and Irish.

  • Queen Victoria's Medical Household
    Medical History, 1982,26:307-320. QUEEN VICTORIA'S MEDICAL HOUSEHOLD by A. M. COOKE* On the 24th of May, 1819, at Kensington Palace it was announced that: Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was safely delivered of a Princess this morning at a quarter past five o'clock. Her Royal Highness and the Princess are doing well. D. D. Davis J. Wilson DRS. DAVIS AND WILSON were the first of a long line of medical men who attended, or were appointed to attend, Queen Victoria throughout her lifetime of nearly eighty-two years. Also assisting at the birth was a midwife, Friaulein Siebold, who, although she also held a medical qualification, did not sign the bulletin. It is an interesting coincidence that the Frilulein also attended at the birth of Prince Albert. We do not know what other medical attendants Victoria had as a child or before she came to the throne, but we know the medical staff of her father and mother. When ill, doubtless she would have been attended by one of them. Date ofdeath David Daniel Davis Attended Queen 1841 James Wilson 841 Friulein Siebold ) Victoria's birth 9 William George Maton 1835 John Merriman (Apothecary) 1839 Sir Joseph de Courcy Laffan, Bt. 1848 Sir Robert Alexander Chermside 1860 Richard Blagden 1861 James Clark 1870 As a girl Victoria was kept strictly under her mother's thumb, was told that she was inexperienced and immature, and that she would require much help when she came to the throne. This is thought to have been part of a plan by her mother and her mother's Comptroller, Sir John Conroy, to make her mother Regent.

V JULY, 1944 NO. 3 Lord Oxford As Supervising Patron of Shakespeare's Theatrical Company By CHARLES WISNER BARRELL The arguments advanced in this article are largely based upon new and hereto/ore unu.tilized documentation o/ the Shake­ spearean Age. Their significance will be immediately grasped by everyone familiar with the main lines of testimony which identify Edward de Vere, the Poet,Playwright Earl o/ Ox/ord, as the long-sought creative personality behind the Shakespeare mystery. Mr. Barrell approaches his problem from the scientific angle. He emphasizes factual logic above standardized assumption. His documentation, showing Lord Oxford as the one permanent "Lord Chamberlain" of his era and Jamiliarly referred to by his contemporaries under this provocative two-word designa­ tion, is authentic and undeniable. It will startle and perhaps chagrin many Stratfordian authorities who have previously either ignored or sought to misrepresent the great body of Ox,. ford-Shakespeare evid.ence. Others will find it a fascinating example oj carejul research and realistic deduction. The Editors. All biographers of William Shakespeare agree December of that year he joined its two leaders, that during the heyday of his career the Bard was Richard Burbage the tragedian and William Kempe the creative mainspring of the acting company the comedian, in two performances at Court.

C. colj qeb afob`qlo his year’s Christmas Revels explores the joyful eruption of music, dance, and drama that characterized the Elizabethan age. While the Queen herself is very much Tpresent, our setting is not a palace, but rather the provincial town of Norwich and the woods nearby. There, one eventful solstice season, courtiers and yokels, nature and invention, Shakespearean poetry and folk rhyme, elegance and low humor all intersect. Loosely based on an actual historic event, our production follows Shakespeare’s clown, Will Kemp, as he completes his most ambitious stunt: dancing all the way from London to Norwich, away from the artificiality of court life, through the countryside where life is lived to nature’s rhythms. Kemp may be at the height of his fame, but he discovers that his rustic cousins can still teach him a thing or two about comedy. Our Queen also undergoes a journey—a Midwinter Night’s Dream—which reminds her that even the great and powerful are very small, compared to the ever-turning cycle of death and rebirth. She may be revered as Gloriana in courtly pageants, but it is as Good Queen Bess that she joins her people in their simple, age-old yuletide pleasures.
