‘The Spanish Princess’

‘The Spanish Princess’ — The synopsis for ‘The Spanish Princess’ reads: “Catherine of Aragon is the strong-willed young Princess of Spain, who has been promised the English throne since she was a child. She arrives in a grey, rain-lashed England with her glorious and diverse court, including her ladies-in-waiting Lina — a Spanish noble of African Iberian descent — and the sweet and free-spirited Rosa. When her husband, Prince Arthur, dies suddenly, the throne seems lost to Catherine until she devises an audacious plan and sets her sights on the new heir, the charismatic and headstrong Prince Harry, who will one day rule as King Henry VIII.” The 8-episode limited series will be told through the eyes of women and will shed light on the lives of people of color living and working in 16th century London. The series stars Charlotte Hope as Catherine of Aragon, Ruairi O’Connor as Prince Harry, Laura Carmichael as Maggie Pole, Stephanie Levi-John as Lina, and Nadia Parkes as Rosa.
