Quotes 

• Catherine of Aragon : Your Grace.

  King Henry Tudor : Catherine.

  Catherine of Aragon : Thank you for seeing me.

  King Henry Tudor : I know this cannot be easy for you.

  Catherine of Aragon : Harry is- He loves me. He cannot wed my niece.

  King Henry Tudor : Harry has a new path he must take.

  Catherine of Aragon : But does he do so willingly?

  King Henry Tudor : For peace and duty and for king and for country, yes, I think he does. Much like his mother did in marrying me.

  Catherine of Aragon : Bu you found love. You think Harry can abandon his love for me?

  King Henry Tudor : A king is not like other men. His heart belongs to his kingdom, and in that sacrifice he proves that he will be a great monarch. Harry's ambition is to make this isle master of the world. I have seen it in his eyes. Soon, we will all be in his shadow.

  Catherine of Aragon : If it is his choice... then I accept it, but... But, please, Your Grace... is he happy?

  King Henry Tudor : You still care for his happiness?

  Catherine of Aragon : I cannot help it. I love him, so he has my heart.

  King Henry Tudor : Sweet, constant Catherine. You were born to be a queen. I am still without a wife. I know I am not Harry, but you would yet be Queen of England.

  Catherine of Aragon : You honor me, Your Grace... but I cannot. You deserve the full heart of a wife. Mine will ever be for Harry.

  King Henry Tudor : Yes. And mine for my dear, sweet Lizzie.

• Catherine of Aragon : [writes letter]  "Dearest Father, my sister would usurp my role in the alliance by betrothing her son Charles to English Princess Mary. Impress upon her the value of my wedding to Prince Harry in strengthening her kingdom now. Have her send my dowry, and we will have a double wedding."

• Catherine of Aragon : I was told I could see the King.

  Margaret Beaufort : The King? Do you suppose he idles here? He has weddings to arrange.

  Catherine of Aragon : Then I wish to see Prince Harry.

  Margaret Beaufort : Prince Harry is no longer here. He's gone to get ready for his wedding to your niece, Princess Eleanor. Did your sister not tell you? It was arranged before she left.

  Catherine of Aragon : Harry will not marry Eleanor. No, he is betrothed to me. The King oversaw our blessing by the bishop.

  Margaret Beaufort : Do not presume to lecture me in the law. A bended knee is not a contract. A Prince of Wales has repudiated you.

  Catherine of Aragon : It isn't true. He would not abandon me.

  Edward Stafford : Alas, my lady, a young man's gaze can be inconstant, fickle.

  Margaret Beaufort : Prince Harry is in Spain for his wedding to your niece. She's already fertile, so she will bear him heirs when the marriage is concluded. Prince Harry and his sister, Mary, will double-stitch our alliance with your country, and you will have no part in it.

  Catherine of Aragon : Where is the King?

  Margaret Beaufort : My dear girl, something you should learn, there is a time for dignity for admitting one has lost and being gracious in defeat. There's no place for you now here in England.

  Catherine of Aragon : I...

  Margaret Beaufort : No. Close that ruby mouth. The audience is over.

  Edward Stafford : If you care for him at all, you'll set sail for Spain. There's nothing for you here.

• Margaret Beaufort : Who allowed you to return?

  King Henry Tudor : I agreed to speak with her, but now she will take her leave.

  Catherine of Aragon : Your Grace.

  King Henry Tudor : Make sure she leaves the palace grounds, and do not readmit her.

  Guard : Yes, my lady.

  King Henry Tudor : Escort her... as a princess.

  [Catherine leaves] 

  King Henry Tudor : I think her heart is broken.

  Margaret Beaufort : Good. She may send it to her sister as a warning. There's still no word on Edmund de la Pole's return to us. He'd best be sent back soon, or perhaps we'll think again about who our friends are.

• Catherine of Aragon : Hello. What's your name?

  Girl : Anne.

  Catherine of Aragon : Anne, did you see the prince today, Prince Harry?

  Girl : He's gone.

  Catherine of Aragon : Gone? Gone where? Anne, do you know?

  Thomas, Earl of Wiltshire : Highness. Catherine, I mean you no offense, but your time at court, it's behind you.

  Catherine of Aragon : I wish to see the Prince of Wales.

  Thomas, Earl of Wiltshire : The Prince is gone. He will be married. His life is not your business, and nor is any matter of the court. The longer you stay here, the more you will demean yourself. Return to Spain, I beg of you. Give up this folly.

• Catherine of Aragon : How dare he speak to me like that? I am a princess. Who is he? He is no one... nothing!

• Maggie Pole : My cousins cannot help us. It seems our fortunes match the others'. We both fall at the Tudors' hands.

  Catherine of Aragon : I fear you fall at mine because I asked you to maintain my maidenhood to Lady Margaret.

  Maggie Pole : I thought of writing to her, telling her you lay with Arthur... but I did not know for a fact. And besides, who you did or did not lie with is of little value now. Harry has gone to marry Eleanor, as I'm sure you know. I would not give that crone the satisfaction of me writing to her, harming you, and then finding that she disregards me anyway and my fortunes are no more improved.

  Catherine of Aragon : What do they tell you of the Prince's wedding?

  Maggie Pole : Catherine, I speak with a friendly heart, so I will speak plainly. You are without a home in England, and when Harry marries Eleanor, you are without a husband, too. But if you return to Spain, you may live as a princess again and start a new life there.

  Catherine of Aragon : Tell me something. Why would Lady Margaret tell the church to raise my rent right now if she has won? No, if Harry is to marry Eleanor, what threat I could be?

  Maggie Pole : Margaret Beaufort may simply want to fatten the exchequer. She has raised the rents of all of her tenants. We must accept that the world has turned against us and there is no hope.

  Catherine of Aragon : When my mother's camp of tents was burned down to the ground, she built a camp of stone.

  Maggie Pole : Your mother had an army at her back, a kingdom at her feet. You cannot event pay your rent.

  Catherine of Aragon : Senor Colombo once showed me a trick. When the sailors on his ships faced a storm, they put their hands together, and the tattoos on their fingers made these two words, "ya basta", hold fast. It helped them reach the New World. I will reach my new world, Maggie, and you must reach yours, too. Chart a course. Head towards it.

• Catherine of Aragon : [writes]  "Dearest Harry, though I have not heard from you, I hold fast to my- our love. I believe that I was born to love you as the sun exists to shine upon the roses in the palace garden. You are my destiny, and I will not forsake you. Come back to me, wherever you may be."

• Catherine of Aragon : Where have you been? I need you.

  Prince Harry Tudor : I need you, too.

  Catherine of Aragon : Be with me.

  [runs to him] 

  Prince Harry Tudor : No king's command, nothing can keep me from you, Catherine. Only the crown. For that, I will toss love away.

  Catherine of Aragon : Harry?

  Prince Harry Tudor : A king can play with love, but he cannot build his reign on it. Look. This is Princess Eleanor. She is my bride. She will bear my sons, and I will build my reign. You burned my letters, so I burned yours.

  Catherine of Aragon : Without you, I am lost.

  Prince Harry Tudor : Then you'll need this.

• Thomas Wolsey : Your Grace, the dowager princess brings an urgent message.

  Margaret Beaufort : No. Out.

  King Henry Tudor : Now, let her speak.

  Catherine of Aragon : The queen's consort, Philip, Archduke of the House of Habsburg, is dead. My sister's grief has caused her health to fail, and her son and heir, Prince Charles, who is betrothed to your Princess Mary, is only eight and is too young to rule. My father has declared himself the king of Spain again, and I am named ambassador to England.

  Margaret Beaufort : Ambassador? That is a position for a man.

  Catherine of Aragon : I sat at my mother's feet in the Alhambra palace. I listened to my father in the golden hall of the ambassadors. Statecraft has always been my family business.

  Margaret Beaufort : I see this for what it is. You cannot block the weddings we have brokered.

  Catherine of Aragon : My father can. My niece and nephew are in his keeping now.

  Margaret Beaufort : Your father wants this alliance as much as we do.

  Catherine of Aragon : Yet he offered me my dowry. You were right, My Lady, when you said my father is as tricky as a fox, but you need him now to save yourselves from France. I am his proxy in this court, so unless you wish to cross him, I will take Senor de Fuensalida's quarters for the moment, and my lady will lodge with me.

  King Henry Tudor : But Catherine... my son... I know you will seek to find him, probably scour this palace from top to toe. But he is gone.

  Catherine of Aragon : Your Grace.
