This intricate cap, adorned with pearls and gold beads, was first worn on the head of the servant girl Ruth in the 2017 second episode of The White Princess. Charlotte Hope reused the piece as Katharine of Aragon in the 2019 first season of The Spanish Princess.

The prayerbook of Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn 

Catherine and Anne both owned a copy of the same printed Book of Hours produced in Paris by renowned French printer Germain Hardouyn in about 1527, a year in which Henry VIII had already proposed to Anne and was pushing to annul his marriage to Catherine. Now, for the first time, these valuable items are both on display at Hever Castle, Anne’s former childhood home in southeast England. For centuries Catherine and Anne have been pitted against each other as love rivals with their differences celebrated. The exhibition aims to show the similarities between the two women. Kate McCaffrey, Hever Castle’s assistant curator, says: 

“The ownership by both of Henry’s first two wives of a copy of the same edition holds hugely intriguing implications for their relationship with one another and their book ownership. Both Catherine and Anne are well known for being highly educated women who owned and used many books and certainly had access to multiple copies of Books of Hours.Yet their connection to one specific edition is different. It is a connection that comes from a pivotal moment in the English court when Catherine’s star was waning and Anne’s rising. Anne owning a copy of the same edition as Catherine is surely, if nothing else, an emulation of, and aspiration to, the royal status of queen which Anne herself would hold in only seven years’ time”. 

Although Anne’s book went missing for many years, in 1910 American tycoon William Waldorf Astor snapped it up after buying Hever Castle. Catherine’s manuscript was acquired at the beginning of the 20th century by another millionaire, John Pierpont Morgan, who kept it in his library in New York. Historians know that Hever’s printed Hours was Anne’s due to the survival of her signed inscription, ‘remember me when you do pray that hope doth led from day to day’. In the Morgan’s printed Hours, Catherine’s ownership is signified by an inscription in a sixteenth-century hand that reads ‘thys boke was good quen Katrin boke’. Thus, it appears as though Catherine herself did not write within her copy of the book, but she certainly owned it. 

In the years after the disgrace of both queens, their books were kept safe in the hands of those loyal to them. The Hever’s printed Hours, which Anne may have taken to her execution, was protected by a group of women local to the Boleyns at Hever, whilst the Morgan’s printed Hours was passed to Catherine’s lady-in-waiting, Margaret Coke, and so seems to have been similarly protected by those devoted to her. 

A comparative analysis of Hever’s and the Morgan’s Hours showed clear differences in the decoration of the book, signifying a level of customization within the illuminating workshop overseen by Hardouin himself. The Anne’s copy features a greater level of decoration than Catherine’s. Why Catherine and Anne both owning a copy of the same printing? A possibility would be that Henry gifted these books to the two women, the king decided to give his wife the less decorated copy and her lady-in-waiting the better one. Yet it is equally possible that Queen Catherine herself ordered these books for her own use and for the use of members of her household. Group reading, particularly amongst educated women, was a common pastime and it is likely that these books were for the purpose of reading and praying together. Another possibility is that both Catherine and Anne heard of the production of these books, and both requested a copy.

My brief from the team at the Globe was to sculpt the play into an exploration of the female experience in this world. This felt possible and in keeping with the original as Katharine is absolutely the anchor and the heart of the play. And with the non-judgemental portrayal of Anne there was scope and room to grow her character in an organic feminist way. I was immediately aware however of the absence of Mary I (AKA Bloody Mary) – Henry’s daughter with Katharine who is referenced once in the original play...I decided that I could take the initiative, with the privilege of 400 years distance, to insert Mary into the play as a watcher and commentator on the action.

...I have mined the treasure trove of 37 plays and 154 sonnets to source snippets of text and put those in the mouths of the characters in order to deepen the exploration of their experiences and tell the story that feels most relevant to now.

I saw something about Taylor Swift songs for Henry VIII's wives, and:

Katharine of Aragon - All Too Well

Anne Boleyn - I Knew You Were Trouble

Jane Seymour - Mastermind

Anne of Cleves - I Bet You Think About Me

Catherine Howard - I Did Something Bad

Katherine Parr - ivy

#these are the vibes I get tbh #before anything says anything I'm not insinuating Catherine Howard actually did anything wrong #I just think that song has her energy #and let's be real she was executed because henry's pride was hurt and nothing more #hope they're all roasting him in the afterlife #katharine of aragon #anne boleyn #jane seymour #anne of cleves #catherine howard #katherine parr #taylor swift

Many years ago, a younger version of myself wrote a book called Isabella’s Daughter, an ambitious tome that covered several decades of Katharine of Aragon’s life in novel form. In the twenty years since, I have grown as a novelist… so this is a far different, much more exciting version of a particular time in Katharine’s life. I’m very proud of it, because it not only represents how much my storytelling abilities have matured in the intervening years, but also because it closes a seven year chapter of my life.

I will never fall out of love with Katharine of Aragon, or Sir Thomas Lovell, or any of the other characters that appear in this book… but it’s time for me to leave them and make new friends. I cried when I wrote the last page, not out of sadness (as a spoiler, it has a happy ending!), but because this has represented almost a decade of my life of living with, researching about, and writing these fantastic characters. Saying farewell to them is almost the same as parting from an old friend.

It’s my hope and prayer that you love this final installment in this series as much as I do, and as my early test readers did. Happy reading!

As Queen, Katharine [Parr] displayed a natural ability to execute the more ‘feminine’ duties of a Henrician consort, and wielded considerable sartorial influence. Similar to Henry’s second queen, Anne Boleyn, Katharine took a keen interest in her style of dress and commissioned John Scut (the tailor who had served all of Henry’s previous wives) to embellish her natural sense of occasion. She was said to be fond of ostentatious accessories, and owned an impressive number of caps, rubies, and pearls. Henry’s final Queen was often kitted out in cloth of gold, crimson, eye-catching brocade, and royal purple for special occasions, which finely displayed Katharine’s innate elegance and exhibited outward majesty. Additionally, she shared in her husband and stepdaughters’ passion for music and dancing, and her household was said to have included a proficient consort of Italian viols.

Young Henry began his rule as a magnificent and chivalrous Renaissance prince who embodied every virtue. He had all the qualities to make a triumph of his rule, yet we remember only the violence. Henry famously broke with the Pope, founding the Church of England and launching a religious revolution that divided his kingdom. He beheaded two of his wives and cast aside two others. He died a…

“What if the English press had been around since the time of Henry VIII? Will there be a panorama interview with Katharine of Aragon? Would Anne Boleyn be attacked by gossip tabloids and they never acknowledge her as Queen and always refer to her by name or "Queen Consort"? Will the press always compare Mary and Elizabeth?” - Submitted by Anonymous

"Intellectually, Katharine was very much a woman of ‘the Renaissance’. It was curiously appropriate that she had been born at Alcalá de Henares, where in 1499 the most advanced university in Spain was established (La Universidad Complutense). In the years 1502–22, the university produced the celebrated ‘Polyglot Bible’, in which the Old Testament was printed in Caldean, Hebrew, Greek and Latin and the New Testament in Greek and Latin; it was one of the emblematic works of what was called ‘the New Learning’, the rediscovery of the culture and values of classical antiquity and their application to the contemporary world. Katharine knew Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, who had supervised the project – indeed, she had been born in his palace – and came in time to form friendships with some of the leading members of the great generation of humanist scholars who were transforming European letters – Antonio de Nebrija and Juan Luis Vives among the Spaniards; Thomas More and John Colet among the Englishmen. Indeed, Katharine was part of a generation in Spain which was learning to value women in quite a new way; as an expression of this, the University of Alcalá (like that of Salamanca) even appointed women to professorial chairs. Truly, the world was changing at an astonishing rate."
