There is nobody who dives into history with today’s relatable lens quite like Lucy Worsley. She brings this trademark approach and fashionable looks to her latest PBS special Lucy Worsley Investigates: The American Revolution. The two-part miniseries premiering April 7 digs deeper into a landmark piece of United States history from the perspective of Britain. A milestone born from one of messiest divorces as the 13 colonies broke up with Britain through the written word. The equivalent of ending a relationship via cell phone text message. Well maybe not, but in the same spirit with what was written in the Declaration of Independence.
As America gets ready to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Worsley logs miles not only across the United Kingdom and Ireland, but the United States as well. The beloved host sits down with historians and handles artifacts to better understand why the British Empire lost the war against those American rebels.
