Historian Dr. Lucy Worsley looks at how the Prince Regent was obsessed with outdoing Napoleon not on the battlefield, but in opulence, bling and monumental architecture.

Lucy Worsley looks at how, under the Prince Regent's aegis, Britain celebrated Napoleon's defeat by refashioning itself in architecture and design.

Lucy Worsley examines a world turned upside down by change, as the Prince Regent's excesses provoke riots, political unrest and assassination attempts.
