I like how Anne and Elizabeth are shown having a warm mother/daughter relationship. It's too bad that Anne later married a man who sexually molested Elizabeth and blamed her for it when Anne caught him with her on one occasion. There was a whole investigation about it, but Elizabeth ended up leaving Anne's home and Anne's husband got off scotch-free.
@SenseOrSensibility That is not quite accurate. Anne never remarried after Henry VIII and her divorced. What you may be thinking of would be after Henry's death, Catherine Parr (his sixth and final wife) married Thomas Seymour, and the couple took Elizabeth into their home. Elizabeth and Thomas allegedly had an affair, and as you say, they were discovered. After this Elizabeth was sent away. But Anne of Cleves is certainly not the one you are thinking of.
I think Elizabeth did a GREAT JOB. She's not beautiful outright, but her looks grow on you, just like Natalie Dormer when she's playing Anne. Natalie is obviously really pretty but when I first started watching, I didn't think so at the time, but by the end she portrayed her role so well it was hard not to think that! And Elizabeth did a great job of portraying some of her mother, like when she curtsies and looks up at the same time and how it seems like she is obviously very witty and sharp
@Serenity113 Elizabeth did not live with Anne of Cleves but Anne of Cleves often inviter her and Mary. if I am not mistaken, she was raised by Lady Bryan and then by Catherine Ashley.
SHOWTIME: You idiots. Don't you know you ditched out one of Elizabeth's most influential experiences. Robert Dudley's meeting at childhood. Sir Thomas Seymour's affair. You have deprived me of my Elizabeth at youth. My Queen as a girl. (by the way, totally random, but a great book of Liz's life is in "Legacy" the novel of her from birth to death, beautiful) In any case, this little red headed girl playing her was stunning - could've tried to be a little more like Natalie, lips and gracefullness.
Me too I wished that Elizabeth had a bigger role, sorry but to be honest sometimes I really didn’t like Mary she was just whinnying at someone or something if it wasn’t Anne it was Anne of Cleves (at first) or Katherine Howard, or Katherine Parr, or Cromwell…. I know that she suffered a lot but so did Elizabeth and but wasn’t bitching around

To those of you who say the actress who plays Elizabeth isn't exactly fantastic: true, her lines do sound very scripted. But keep in mind, she's talking to the king, the man who had her mother killed in part because of her sharp tongue. Elizabeth had to watch everything she said; one slip cound have easily ignited the king's temper. I think they potrayed this very well.
I love the cute little look of surprise on Elizabeth's face when Henry tells her he has a gift for her. In that tiny amount of time, she's just a regular daughter excited about getting something special from her Dad. :)
I love seeing Elizabeth on the Tudors; they really should've expanded her part rather than casting her to the shadows (although that's what they did in real life). I don't think the character really developed. Sarah Bolger had time to make Mary her own, and seperate her a bit from Catherine, whereas Elizabeth had three different actresses and never got away from being Anne's Daughter. Whatever. I still love the scene, and still think the actress portraying the future Queen is quite lovely.
@iluvwinterweather Elizabeth was rightly cast and it was more about Henry VIII than it was about his children, mainly Elizabeth. I personally think that Mary was right to be more prominent since she had a more prominent role in Henry VIII's life than Elizabeth really did. Elizabeth's time of prominence came quite later and I think it's better to be more accurate about the roles that Henry's daughters played in HIS LIFE rather than really make Elizabeth more prominent in his life than she was.
@iluvwinterweather So many people don't understand the level of misery she went through and how much she lost and at the most impressionable possible age. I for one think this series finally showed the extent of what she suffered.
@TheNuharoo I agree completely; I would've gone mad in situation. I was also disappointed that they never even mentioned Lady Jane Grey on the show. It's kind of understandable, seeing as they never mentioned her mother Frances and pretty much screwed up the whole Mary/Margaret thing, but I would've loved to have seen a scene with her, Edward, Mary and Elizabeth as sort of a nod to the future King and Queens.
@HistoryLover1550 Georgie would've been fabulous! I like Laoise too though. But Elizabeth is more known for red hair than Mary is, and I can't imagine Henley becoming ginger! :)
@harrypotterinnarnia I could picture Henley with auburn hair, I think she would look good. It would've been sweet if there were scenes of young Elizabeth and Robin Sudley in love. I would've liked to have seen Skandar Keynes or Noah Ringer play Robin.
@HistoryGirl345 I don't understand how you mean she is awful?
In history Elizabeth was portrayed as very old for her age and knew many langauge including Spanish, French and Latin. I don't understand how she does not portray Elizabeth here.
This is a lovely scene. The actress that plays Elizabeth is a little wooden, but I think it was because Elizabeth was mindful to behave herself now that she is in her father's good graces. Joss Stone is delightful as Anne of Cleves as always. I think Henry 8 really respected Anne of Cleves after all.
@hotchick1860 I agree with you. I think she does a good job. I think she would be nervous to be around her father and probably a bit self concious, as most girls her age would be.
@hotchick1860 She's not bad at all. It would've been nice to have seen her being intelligent, headstrong, and a rising star as we all know the real Elizabeth was in the show.
@HistoryLover1550 The actress playing Elizabeth is quite good. What else do you expect from her? She can't really act like a Queen of England can't she? Her childhood was insecure, dangerous and unhappy so she was cautious, shy and quiet.
@ekateri28 Right, as a matter of fact when she was 6 she was shown naked to French Ambassadors cause she was being offered as a bride to one of their princes and they needed to make sure she had no blemishes or deformities on her. After her experience with Thomas Seymour, she hardly trusted men.
Elizabeth had been trained since childhood to behave a certain way and was once reported to have conversed with one of her fathers courtiers as gravely as a woman of 40. The actress here i think does a good job portraying that part of her personality. elizabeth new that her position in her fathers favor was precarious and acted accordingly.
@HistoryGirl345 I think Elizabeth is perfect, she looks like what I'd imagine the real Elizabeth might have looked like as a child, not a Hollywood manufactured doll
I think the person who play elizabeth is a perfect match because history say when elizabeth was young but when she spoke she spoke as if u were talking to a adult
also i don't mean to be anal but the crimped hair is bothering me. only parts of it are crimped so if they were going for natural i would have to say FAIL. curly would have been better or straight. also i think this is the worst casting choice for a character on the tudors since season 2 jane. she is a bit wooden. i'm sorry i shouldn't ripped the girl to shreds like that. but on another note i absolutely adore anne of cleves. she is by far the nicest of henry's wives. she loves all his kids
elizabeth should be around 8 i think not as old as she is being portrayed in the show. also did anyone find henry's clapping to be bit rude. like he didn't really care for what she had to say. maybe it's just me but i felt he was insincre towards her.
@fleurgi yes I thought his clapping was a bit odd, sort of mocking. Anne humiliated him time and time again and she very rarely said nice things to say to him. Like Henry said very little nice things to Katharine prior to divorce. I think he felt very threatened by Elizabeth because she reminds him of her mother.
@fleurgi Elizabeth was 13 when Henry died. I don't think he was clapping to be rude, he was just amazed by Elizabeth's dancing and wanted to surprize her and Anne.
The actress portraying young Elizabeth has a bio that reads that this is only her second experience acting. I believe the casting agent may have chosen her as they imagined she would be a little awkward and stiff on camera as that may be how young Elizabeth actually felt around her seldom seen and intimidating father's visits.
@csure09 When Elizabeth was 6 she was shown naked to the French ambassadors when she was offered as a bride to a prince. Elizabeth ws sensitive in her youth, and I think Laoise Murray played that part of her well.
I thought the actress did well. The real Elizabeth likely had very little interaction with her father her entire life. To have him suddenly drop in on her, someone who is such an intimidating figure to so many, and for her to handle it with such ease despite sounding so nervous I think is wonderful.
@HistoryGirl345 It does sound like she's reading her lines for the first time, but I was wondering if she was suppose to be like that way...like she was choosing her words carefully for fear of offending Henry?
Henry never should have divorced Anne of Cleeves, and after Howard he should have remarried her. She is my favorite of all his queens and the one the least is known about. I also feel she was the smartest as she knew how to play her politcal hand and stay alive and in high esteem. I love the portrayal of her in this series.
not sure about this. i think the actress for elizabeth (anyone know who she is by the way?) is too old for how old elizabeth should've been at the time, but elizabeth wouldn't be the intelligent, fierce, warrior queen she became until much later, so yeah, i don't expect her to be elizabeth just yet.
It's not Elizabeth I have a problem with, if we are going to talk details, lets look at the fact Henry is missing a couple hundred pounds or so...Elizabeth looks fine. At this point in History, Henry was fat and disgusting.
That got heavy handed with making Charles Brandon look like his portraits but Henry is still the same? 0_o And I just can't accept this actress as Elizabeth when you look at who her parents are on the show. And the portraits of her at this time (given they made a time leap) portrayed her as a pretty young girl.
@LordLivius I know what you mean... it's a red-head girl whose parents are both brunettes. It makes no sense at all. And of course she looks way older than what she should.
@HistoryGirl345 Your right because she was only 8 or 9.. she was born in 1533 and this would have been around 1541 or 1542. Because he was only married to Kathrine Howard from 1540 to 1542.
@dkbcare I think what it is is nerves. I could tell just how nervous she was the whole time so that could be it. While I love Elizabeth I too, she is also my favorite queen of all time, I think the actress is doing a decent enough job at it. Maybe I'm just not as picky about it as some are. Although I have to agree with you she does look way too old. Granted, Mary's hardly aged in the last two seasons.
I think think she was told to act that way. Elizabeth knows what happened to her mother so she is probably thinking before she is speaking incase her father were to want to find some reason to rid of her. She is obviously much older in the show than in that time in history, so she is able to comprehend danger.
This scene makes me think he is possibly wanting Elizabeth to grow to be an intelligent woman like her mother. If only he could of seen what she would become.
@Taopuppy actually even though for us it was only 3/4 years in the series its been about 30 years? since Henry began his regin the series has so much to cover that it has to skip a few years to keep up with the majore events such as Henrys queens and wars while soaps just change the childs age over night yet keeping the same time line of its plot
I love this scene! You can tell that Henry really cares for Elizabeth. He looked a little bit hurt when she got up uncomfortably from his lap. I really hope their relationships strengthens!
I like how Anne and Elizabeth are shown having a warm mother/daughter relationship. It's too bad that Anne later married a man who sexually molested Elizabeth and blamed her for it when Anne caught him with her on one occasion. There was a whole investigation about it, but Elizabeth ended up leaving Anne's home and Anne's husband got off scotch-free.
