If you like British royal history dramas (and there are quite a few to choose from at this point), The White Princess will prove itself very entertaining. However, the insertion of fictional characters and plots to add to the turmoil doesn't take away from the show's historical foundation, which contextualizes the difficult role Elizabeth of York had to play as a result of her noble birth. However, at times it presents Elizabeth as a stronger, more empowered figure than she is in the book, allowing her character to rise above her role as a mere political pawn who settles into her role.Īlthough it's a follow-up to The White Queen, the cast changes and post-War of the Roses narratives of this mini-series give it a very different feel. It features all the machinations and struggles for power and influence for which the English royal court is known for, but it does so with the fictional flair of Philippa Gregory's book series rather than with historical accuracy. The soap opera-ish series offers a romanticized version of the relationship between the first Tudor King and Queen of England. : The White Princess (MTI) (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels): 9781501175626: Gregory, Philippa: Books Books Literature & Fiction Genre Fiction Buy used: 7.16 Get Fast, Free Shipping with Amazon Prime FREE delivery Friday, April 21 if you spend 25 on items shipped by Amazon Or fastest delivery Monday, April 17.
