The White Queen - reviews so far


 
In which we meet a kingmaker and a king in love...but does he really make a queen or a fool of the girl who falls for him?

 
Episode one - fall in love with Edward and Elizabeth

*********

 
A coronation, lots of babies and quite a lot of history in a very short period of time

 
Hardly a spoiler - you know she was queen

*****

 
Things get very dramatic and very sad as friends fall out - be warned, this is a weepie....


The Kingmaker and his two daughters

*****

 
Make room for one more queen and this one's very bad indeed....

 
The kingdom isn't big enough for all these queens - another consort makes an appearance in The White Queen

*****

 
The Red Queen comes into her own and it's worth watching the series for this episode alone

 
Mad, bad and definitely dangerous to know - Margaret Beaufort is magnificent in The White Queen

*****

 
More plotting from the queens in their various corners and a hidden love story that will win an unlikely girl a crown in the end

 
And then they fell in love - or did they?  Richard III and The Kingmaker's Daughter

*****
 
Another heartbreaker, for other reasons...this is drama from start to finish....


Edward's brother, George, isn't the biggest fan of his sister-in-law, The White Queen

*****
 
 
The women really are in charge by the end of this one

 
The three women running England in The White Queen
 
 
One of English history's greatest mysteries is explored...and an illicit romance is hinted at...
 
 
Another queen for England - Anne Neville is just one of the suspects in the frame for the murder of the princes in the Tower
 
 
This is where the story ends....a final battle for the throne of England and a queen trying to persuade a princess to swap her coronet for a crown...
 
 
Back where she began in Grafton, Elizabeth watches and waits to see who will wear the crown that once belonged to her husband and her son
