You don’t have to have seenThe White Queen to tune in for the new series — though the first, which starred Rebecca Ferguson, is definitely recommended viewing. “I think [the series] does completely stand on its own, and we’ve worked really hard to make sure that we’ve told the story from a standing start for anyone who didn’t see The White Queen,” ...
Comer was Frost’s No. 1 pick to play Lizzie. “Lizzie had to be an actress who owned that kind of regal entitlement, and Jodie is a phenomenal actress who is actually self-trained,” Frost said. “She’s a real rising star. Jodie already had this quality of just, ‘I’m an actress, I’m a lead, I can own it.’ So she had that incredibly innate royal qualit...
For Henry, they auditioned about 300 actors before discovering Collins-Levy. “Casting Henry was incredibly difficult because it was so clear what I wanted, which was he had to work as a love story. He had to be someone that the audience and Lizzie, we believed, would fall in love with, and I kept saying, ‘It has to be somebody who the audience want...
Comer and Collins-Levy underscored the fact that this period in history marked Henry’s kingdom, but Lizzie’s reign. “I think it’s tremendously exciting to be able to try and reappropriate history for the people who are excluded from it,” Frost said. “As we know, history is written by the victors. History books are written by predominantly white men...
Given its themes, it was important for Frost to work with a predominantly female creative team. “The entire writing team is female,” Frost said. “We have women in pretty much every grade. We have female editors, we had female VFX people, we’ve had female stunt people, almost all of the production design department, which is helmed by a man, Will Hu...
Despite their warring houses, Lizzie and Henry are actually known today for their loving marriage. Comer remembers our protagonists’ reign as “a happier one than many before and after,” in part because Lizzie ended up truly giving Henry her love, “and that’s something that he’d never had.” This especially comes into play when they have a child and ...
Lizzie’s decision is challenged, however, when a young man comes forward claiming to be Prince Richard, her brother and the rightful heir to the throne. Richard has long been assumed dead after he and his brother Edward were betrayed in the tower in The White Queen. Now he’s come back, and Lizzie must decide whether to stay the course set by her mo...
Through this journey, Lizzie’s costumes by designer Phoebe De Gaye come to represent her growth into womanhood. “I had a long conversation with Phoebe about wanting Lizzie’s costumes to really track what happens for her emotionally and psychologically as she goes from being this very impassionate young woman to somebody who is a real tough queen by...
For Comer, those costumes were also one of the series’ major challenges. “[The costumes] were a nightmare if, like, you ever wanted to nap at lunch,” Comer said. “You couldn’t lie down!” Comer also said that there’s definitely a blooper reel of her and all the other women on set tripping and falling over their dresses at one point or another: “The ...
So can we expect a third miniseries? Frost is hopeful. “I think we always wanted to do [this series] because what we all feel is the story that’s kicked off in The White Queen is absolutely finished in The White Princess. It’s the story about what was it that actually happened to those boys in the tower, and we finished that story with this second ...
