Vincent regan jasper tudor10/12/2023 And then he doesn't touch her on their wedding night? Is that supposed to make him chivalrous or sympathetic or romantic? Way to ruin Henry VII before we even get to know him, Phillipa Gregory. Lizzie and Henry.where do I even begin? Seriously, rape?! Ugh. I can't wait for Lizzie to knock her down a few pegs. For such a pious woman, Margaret wasted no time in dressing herself in rich fabrics and throwing her weight around. But I love Michelle Fairley so I will overlook the aging up of her character. Princess picking up almost immediately after Queen made it rather obvious that most of the recasts are considerably older. I watched the final episode of The White Queen before watching The White Princess so I could jog my memory of where we left off 3 years ago. Not the "spitfire" empowered woman of the Gregory novels and by the looks of it, the White Princess. She also paints Elizabeth as a complacent woman content in her relationship and standing. In the book Weir builds the case that Elizabeth and Margaret got along fine and that Elizabeth and Henry had a loving marriage. This was based on letters, financial records etc. Interestingly enough I recently read a more historically accurate book on Elizabeth of York and the relationship she really had with her mother in law Margaret Beaufort by Alison Weir entitled Elizabeth of York A Tudor Queen and Her World. I understand things are ramped up for television but this portrayal of Elizabeth gave me pause. Also another nitpick was the way they depicted the story from the POV that Elizabeth was an enemy of Henry's and was plotting his downfall. This one seems like they have "Hollywood-ized" this production and its a little too stylized for me but I will be watching. I'm on the fence with how this will turn out because it didn't capture the production style of the WQ. I came across the trailer on demand and being an incredible fan of the White Queen I was excited to see that it was coming out. Here is an article with some casting details. The series is supposed to air sometime in 2017. Somebody named Jacob Collins-Levy is Henry VII. A newcomer, Jodie Cromer, has been cast as Elizabeth of York. Notables in the new cast are Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones' Catelyn Stark) as Margaret Beaufort, Joanne Whalley as Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy (sister of Edward IV, Richard III and George, Duke of Clarence), Suki Waterhouse as Cecily of York (Elizabeth's younger sister), and Vincent Regan as Jasper Tudor. The only one that seems to be returning is Caroline Goodall as Cecily, Duchess of York (Edward IV's mother). But fortunately, we get to lose the troll that was Margaret Beaufort (I still have images of her gape mouth acting) and the block of wood that played Henry Tudor. As far as I am concerned, this means that we unfortunately lose the beautiful actress who played Elizabeth of York in the first series, as well as the scintillating Rebecca Ferguson as Elizabeth Woodville. It appears that they have almost entirely dumped the cast from TWQ and started over. production has finally begun on "The White Princess", the long rumoured sequel and the adaptation of several of the next books in the series.
