The Spanish Princess

Charlotte Hope (Game of Thrones) has been tapped to star in Starz’s The Spanish Princess, the third installment following The White Princess and The White Queen, based on Philippa Gregory’s bestselling books. Starz also rounded out the cast as production begins on the limited series. [...]

Hope has been cast in the titular role as Catherine of Aragon, alongside Stephanie Levi-John (Top Boy, Youngers) as her lady-in-waiting and confidante, Lina de Cardonnes.

Promised in marriage to the future King of England Prince Arthur, played by Angus Imrie (Hollow Crown, Kingdom), Catherine is the source of curiosity, resentment and suspicion among her new family; the formidable Margaret Beaufort played by Dame Harriet Walter (The Crown, Call the Midwife), Laura Carmichael (Downton Abbey, Marcella) as Arthur’s guardian Margaret (Maggie) Pole, Ruairi O’Connor (Delicious) in the role of Arthur’s charismatic brother Prince Harry (who will become King Henry VIII), alongside his sister Margaret (Meg) Tudor played by Georgie Henley (The Narnia franchise, The Sisterhood of the Night) with Elliot Cowan (Da Vinci’s Demons) as King Henry Tudor and Alexandra Moen (Fortitude, Dickensian) as Queen Elizabeth.
