Mary struggles to resist her feelings for Gideon as she works to align herself politically with potential allies. Elizabeth and Greer find themselves in similar heart-wrenching situations with the potential for very different outcomes. Catherine and Narcisse continue their vicious power struggle over the Regency, while Claude finds herself in the fight of her life on her wedding night.

Quotes

Princess Claude: Stop saying you have no choice Charles, you are the king!

Queen Catherine: Is it so unthinkable, a crime might take place in this castle that I had nothing to do with.

Lord Narcisse: You two have become thick as thieves.
Queen Mary: Do you still hold it agenst me that I defended her agents a false accusation of murder?!

Queen Mary: Ambassador Gideon, you look like a man working out this frustrations, perhaps I should take a swing, as we are both frustrated with the same Queen.

Leith Bayard: Sons of cobblers, doesn’t get to be with princesses.

Lady Greer: I need to believe, that who we are, matters more than our station.
Leith Bayard: I’ve come around to your old way of thinking. Because it was right Greer. You are who you're born into, and nothing more than people say you are. You can pretend otherwise, but the world won’t pretend with you.

Queen Mary: As if I didn’t have enough problems Catherine. You give me the Dukes stolen gold.

Princess Claude: I’m a princess!

Queen Elizabeth: Royals have such a strange sense of family, don’t you think. My father cut off my mothers head. My sister jailed me as a threat to her rule. And You. You have a kings bastard for a son.

Queen Elizabeth: Amy is dead. Our baby is gone. And to what end? We are lost to each other.

Robert Dudley: I will always love you Elizabeth. Always.

Leith Bayard: Marry me.

Queen Elizabeth: The English did this to me. For daring to love who I want. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps I forgot what it means to be a queen.
