Have you heard about the new historical drama that has just been released on Amazon Prime Video? It's a must-see for all history enthusiasts, especially those who are intrigued by the life of an English queen. This series delves into the story of one of King Henry VIII's wives and is sure to captivate its audience.
Based on the novels "The Constant Princess" and "The King's Curse" by Philippa Gregory, "The Spanish Princess" serves as a sequel to the miniseries "The White Queen" and "The White Princess." The show, which ran for two seasons in 2019 and 2020, stars Charlotte Hope as Catherine of Aragon, the princess who became Queen of England when she married King Henry VIII, played by Ruairi O'Connor.
While the series received mixed reviews, many agreed that it was a fitting tribute to Queen Catherine, who had often been overshadowed by her husband. The Hollywood Reporter praised it as "the ideal period soap," skillfully balancing the political intrigue of 16th century court life with the passionate drama of a classic love story. Refinery29 also raved about the show, stating that it finally gave the charismatic and cunning Catherine the recognition she deserves.
But not everyone was a fan. Some viewers criticized the show for its historical inaccuracies, with some even finding it offensive. Despite this, the series was still highly praised by many, with some calling it "brilliant" and "beautiful."
For those who haven't had the chance to watch it yet, "The Spanish Princess" has now been added to Amazon Prime for subscribers with an MGM Plus additional subscription. In a 2020 interview with Town and Country, Charlotte Hope addressed the backlash and urged viewers to enjoy the story being told rather than focusing on historical accuracy.
She also touched on the idea that history is often written by white men, and as a result, the stories of women and people of color are often overlooked or misrepresented. "The Spanish Princess" serves as an expansion of the already rich history of Catherine of Aragon and gives her a voice that has often been silenced in the past.
So, if you're looking for a new series to binge-watch, be sure to check out "The Spanish Princess" on Amazon Prime Video. And if you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures to share, don't hesitate to reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency. They would love to hear from you!
