Pourquoi Vous N'auriez Pas Survécu à un Dîner Officiel avec la Reine Victoria (Londres, 1880)

Imagine the most luxurious banquet in the world... but where the highest nobility are forced to gorge themselves like wild animals before their plates are snatched away. Worse still: half of what's on the table is poisonous. Welcome to Queen Victoria's table in 1880. Behind the gold cutlery and crystal chandeliers lies one of the most dangerous dinners in history. In this immersive documentary, discover the terrifying truth behind the banquets at Buckingham Palace. From the emerald green walls saturated with arsenic, to the lead-contaminated water, to the spoiled meat transported without any refrigeration. And if the poison didn't kill you, etiquette certainly did. Discover the cruel rule imposed by Queen Victoria that forced her guests to eat at breakneck speed, the silent panic of the diners, and the unbearable hell endured by the servants hidden in the palace cellars.
