In the opulent tapestry of Tudor England, "The Constant Princess" weaves the vibrant tale of Katherine of Aragon, a princess born of the illustrious Spanish royals, destined for greatness beyond the borders of her homeland. Philippa Gregory, with her exquisite pen, brings to life the early years of a woman history remembers as the forsaken queen, yet whose journey was marked by passion, resilience, and an unwavering belief in her destiny. From the sun-kissed fields of Spain to the cold, mysterious courts of England, Katherine's story unfolds — a young princess betrothed to Arthur, Prince of Wales, determined to embrace her role as the future Queen of England, despite the unforeseen trials that lay ahead. Following Arthur's untimely death, Katherine finds herself at the mercy of fate, her dreams seemingly shattered. Yet, within her beats the heart of her warrior mother, Isabella of Castile, fueling her with the courage to forge a new path. Her resolve leads her to Henry, Arthur's charismatic younger brother, setting the stage for a union that would challenge the very foundations of the Tudor dynasty. Gregory masterfully captures the essence of a woman who was far more than a mere footnote in history, portraying her as the constant princess who fought with every fiber of her being to claim her rightful place. In this compelling narrative, Katherine of Aragon emerges not just as a queen, but as a beacon of perseverance and strength, her story a testament to the indomitable spirit of a true constant princess.

I read when I was very young. - Emma Watson
Words have weight, something once said cannot be unsaid. Meaning is like a stone dropped into a pool; the ripples will spread and you cannot know what back they wash against.
