Michelle Fairley ( Game of Thrones, Rebellion) plays Margaret Beaufort, Henry VII’s mother - a philanthropist, benefactor for the Church, and the calculating mastermind behind Henry’s ascent to the Throne of England. Joanne Whalley ( Beowulf, The Borgias) portrays the widowed Duchess of Burgundy - Elizabeth of York’s aunt, sister to deceased English Kings Richard III and Edward IV, and a sensual, intelligent York woman who presides over her cultured court across the English Channel. Even after the death of her husband King Edward IV and the fall of the House of York from the throne, her faith in York’s eventual return to power is sustained by the boy she believes to be Prince Richard, her last surviving son and the only genuine challenger to King Henry’s royal claim. Playing the paranoid Henry VII of the House of Tudor is (relative) newcomer Jacob Collins-Levy ( Glitch, Holding the Man).Įssie Davis ( Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, The Babadook) costars as Princess Elizabeth’s mother, the Dowager Queen Elizabeth, aka “The White Queen,” an indomitable strategist and unwavering supporter of the York cause. Starring in the title role of The White Princess, as Princess Elizabeth of the House of York, is Jodie Comer ( Thirteen, Doctor Foster, My Mad Fat Diary). ![]() Loyalties blur and families find themselves on opposing sides as the House of Tudor tries to cement its rule over an increasingly fragmented empire, where loyalty is a scarce commodity and the fear of betrayal is ever-present. Now she must choose between being a Tudor wife and a York princess, and between her new husband and the boy who claims to be her own blood and the true heir to the crown. What’s more, rumors are circulating that Princess Elizabeth’s long-lost brother, Prince Richard, is alive and planning to take the throne. While England is ostensibly united, the personal and political rift between Elizabeth and Henry runs deep, and their tempestuous marriage threatens to tear the kingdom apart once again. The White Princess opens in 1485, after Princess Elizabeth, daughter of “The White Queen,” has been pledged in (forced into) marriage to the newly-anointed King Henry VII, in the hopes that their union will bring peace to a war-torn country. Like The White Queen, it charts one of the most tumultuous times in British history from the point of view of the women who waged the ongoing battle for the English throne. The White Princess concludes the story of the Wars of the Roses and follows the rise of the House of Tudor. ![]()
