“When a storm comes, everyone acts according to his nature. Some people lose their ability to think. Some are fleeing. Others are hiding. And some spread their wings like eagles and soar in the air. - Elizabeth
“The monarch must rise above the charge of cruelty necessary for the security of the country and of his own person. It must enter flesh and blood, so as not to flinch, to strike, even at the nearest, if they are guilty.
Kings and emperors are only men, only mortals. Whatever wealth they possess, they will not save them from death. They are only earth and dust, and they must go away into the earth, and all their glory, on closer examination, will be quite insignificant.
John Arbuthnot Fisher
It is very important for a king or queen not to show his vulnerability to the outside world. Any sign of weakness, illness, or even natural aging should be disguised as invulnerability. If the mask slips, the dynasty may collapse with it.

Tudor privacy. Secrets of the crowned family.
Very good historical biographical drama. A costume. The intrigues are put in an interesting way. I highly recommend it.🙏
