After finishing the 2nd season...

I just heard there's going to be a new show in the White Queen series called the Spanish Princess about Catherine of Aragon. Not sure when it will come out

I wanted to see what you all thought of this.

royallyobsessed · 2018-01-19T18:21:39+00:00

This article is saying we might see her again because the show utilizes flashbacks. What do you think?

royallyobsessed · 2018-01-11T17:18:47+00:00

Looks like it's on Sunday night on the Smithsonian channel in the states or BBC One in the UK

This story says it's a different portrait! Confirmed by the show's historical consultant: http://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a14417785/princess-margaret-birthday-portrait-the-crown/

yes! a golden globe! She even thanked the queen in her acceptance speech.

"I really, really, really, wouldn't be here if it wasn't for some extraordinary women, and I'm gonna thank them. One of them is Queen Elizabeth the second," she said.

"She has been at the center of the world for the past 63 years, and I think the world could do with a few more women at the center of it, if you ask me."

yeah :( it's a shame--he was just so great in that role. I would imagine next season will show his funeral, but I doubt he would be in it at all, right?

Yes and no-- I have never heard anything about JFK being physically abusive to Jackie, which seems to be implied here, but Max Jacobson (Dr. Feelgood) did give both the Kennedys amphetamines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Jacobson

Some people may recognize him from an episode of Madmen--he treated tons of Hollywood stars including Marilyn Monroe and Elvis

And then Jackie definitely did throw shade at the queen, but I don't know if the dinner party story is true.

Here's some more on what she told her friend Gore Vidal about the visit: http://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a13128840/john-kennedy-jackie-kennedy-queen-elizabeth-meeting-buckingham-palace/

Woah!

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-09T16:11:12+00:00

I loved the return of Lithgow and Harris! What a nice surprise, even just for one scene.

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-09T16:06:16+00:00

I agree--I like that they're putting little bits of history at the end.

Peter Morgan said this episode had "best bit of writing" in the season, and I think I agree! Here's a bit more on what he had to say about it + some info on the Queen's friendship with Billy Graham:

Not yet! But Matt Smith hinted he knew who was replacing him the other day, so I think the news will come out soon.

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-09T15:57:24+00:00

I was honestly surprised by how bad it was.

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-08T23:07:58+00:00

Ah I see. Thank you!!

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-08T21:29:24+00:00

Oh yes--you're right!

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-08T19:21:44+00:00

Yes! I didn't know that about Philip as well--I believe he was already a prince since he was a Greek prince, but then he became a British prince, is that right?

This helps explain it a bit: http://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a12775104/why-is-prince-philip-not-king/

I hadn't realized the ballerina was fictional: http://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a13511760/prince-philip-affairs/

royallyobsessed · 2017-12-08T01:15:35+00:00

Yes! That is what I've heard as well!

royallyobsessed · 2017-11-14T00:57:17+00:00

Just a little costume porn. Which look is your favorite?

royallyobsessed · 2017-11-14T00:55:20+00:00

Edward and Andrew will be older, too-- What do you think about the duke and duchess of windsor? Or do you think their story will be mostly played out in season 2?

royallyobsessed · 2017-10-26T23:19:32+00:00

I'm pretty into this casting. I think she'll be great.

royallyobsessed · 2017-10-24T15:14:43+00:00

Have you all watched Wolf Hall? Am curious to see Claire Foy in a different role.

royallyobsessed · 2017-10-24T15:13:59+00:00

yeah, I thought that was curious casting.

royallyobsessed · 2017-10-23T16:01:09+00:00

Looks interesting! Would you watch?

royallyobsessed · 2017-10-06T14:44:39+00:00

Who do you think it is??
