Prince Henry in Red white & royal blue (2023)

my chest does a funny thing when i look at henry fox as portrayed by nick galitzine in a way that is seriously concerning to my lesbianism.

especially when he's being all pretty and teary and pathetic ?? what sorcery is this ???

alex really took zahra's advice and went "alright bet"

Prince Henry is so babygirl coded!!!!

and this is called a perfect casting!!!🫴🏻

they both rocked as ALEX AND HENRY

Noticed a few times where Nicholas makes a popping sound out of the P letter

Sound up🔊

While at Dover, ahead of setting sail to France, [Henry VII] granted: 'Power to Arthur prince of Wales, duke of Cornwall and earl of Chester, as keeper of England the king's lieutenant there, to grant licensees to elect to conventual, but not cathedral, chapter; to assent to elections, make restitution of temporalities and receive fealties on elections of minor prelates, but not with respect to greater prelates, without the king's command: and to present to benefices not exceeding the taxation of 40 marks, churches of the taxation of 20 marks and under to which the chancellor is accostumed to present, being excepted'.

— Gareth Streeter, Arthur Prince of Wales: Henry VIII's Lost Brother

Some things 6-year-old Arthur Tudor did whilst his father was away in France between 9 October and 13 December 1492:

Signed at least eleven documents of official royal business

Authorised a series of pardons to men across the kingdom who had failed to appear before the magistrates' bench

Sorted the financial settlement of the dowager Viscountess of Lisle

Ordered sheriffs to arrest offenders in Essex

Placed a bond of recognisance on a group of rioters in Bristol

Ordered the arrest of a man who had wronged a Spanish merchant

Can you imagine minding your business at a bar in Texas and all of a sudden, his royal FUCKING HIGHNESS Prince Henry just bursts into Queen??? Like no one would believe you if you tried to tell them Prince Henry flew all the way to texas and was doing karaoke at some random bar with the son of the president of the United States

“The oddest thing about Mary’s reign, like that of her grandfather’s, was the fact that it happened at all. A hundred years before, the accession of a woman to the English throne was all but unimaginable. Sir John Fortescue, the most influential constitutional thinker of fifteenth-century England, had flatly denied that a woman could wear the crown. Nor was her sex the least of the obstacles in Mary’s path. Untrained for rule and unmarried, declared illegitimate and excluded from the succession in 1534, subsequently restored to it in 1544 (though with no revocation of her illegitimacy), a convinced Catholic who by 1553 stood almost alone against the religious policy of the Protestant regime, Mary looked likely to be baulked of her rights when the Duke of Northumberland married off Lady Jane Grey to his son, Guildford Dudley, and Edward VI willed the crown to Jane by virtue of her descent from Henry VII. The fact that the duke hoped to frustrate the accession of one woman by running another as her rival is a commentary on how much things had changed, as well as on the lack of a plausible male alternative. The account of how Mary overcame these formidable obstacles, a veritable Renaissance history of virtù dominating fortuna, is the most romantic and appealing episode in what has generally been seen as an unappealing and drab reign.” — Richard Rex, The Tudors

His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales.

so, with how many taylor swift songs are about alex and henry (obviously)

do we think taylor swift read red, white and royal blue?

because we know she read the greats with how much she quotes them in her songs, but how outlandish is it that she would read a best selling queer romance and just not tell anyone?

Red white and royal blue (2023)

Nicholas Galitzine is so British it kinda scares me. He’s like Americas first contact with a British person. I’m pretty sure the royal family cooked him up in a lab and sent him to the states to make us believe that British people are real

He actually reminds me of why I’m scared to go back to England. I went when I was 9. Tiny me was so terrified of the accents(and the food) I hid in my aunts attic half the time I was there 💀

Red, White & Royal Blue Chapter 9 in a nutshell

If only Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon counted in Catholic eyes, does this mean Mary wouldn't theoretically consider any of his other wives 'real' stepmothers, as such? If she did, how would she rationalise defying the Pope's will, whilst upholding the papal authority to sanction the marriage of her parents?

She probably never did, based on the wording of that Act in question. Her attitude towards papal authority during her own reign was...contradictory in other ways, however.

Wrote a huge screed about the recent bullshit Princes in the Tower "documentary", but realised my feelings could actually be summed up by this meme:
