Until she claims her marriage was never consummated and that as a virgin she may set her sights on the new heir, the charismatic and headstrong Prince Harry who will one day rule as King Henry VIII. She is Princess of Wales now, but when her husband Prince Arthur dies suddenly, the throne seems lost to Catherine. She arrives in a grey, rain-lashed England with her glorious and diverse court including her lady-in-waiting Lina - an African Moor. In addition, the saga will depict the lives of people of color in 16th-century London.Ĭatherine of Aragon, is the beautiful teenaged princess of Spain who was promised the English throne since she was a child.

Unlike the previous series, however, the eight-episode Spanish Princess is based on material in two of Gregory’s best-selling books: The Constant Princess and The King’s Curse.

Like The White Queen and The White Princess that preceded it, The Spanish Princess will take place in Tudor England and will follow the machinations of its monarchs.
