@queenme222 Yeah it is! I've seen the portrait in a book! Pretty flattering to see that in a show!

@tlisia

There was also the religious divide, Edward and Elizabeth being committed Protestants (though Edward, along with Jane Grey, was a fundamentalist) while Mary was a staunch Catholic. Edward and Elizabeth, however, did see Mary as a mother figure in their early years, and it was not until each of them ascended to the throne that power went to their heads (Edward persecuting Mary, Mary persecuting Elizabeth).

@ligreekguy well, what do you expect from a film that tells the story of a prince and a pauper who switch their places and nobody sees the difference?

[ligreekguy]

God, is this movie so pathetically inaccurate. Lady Jane Grey and Edward VI were only days apart in age, but this Jane is older, and treating Edward like a kid brother. Elizabeth is rather cheeky in this movie, both in terms of attitude AND body (she needs Jenny Craig!) Neither girl would have been so bossy and disrespectful toward Edward when he was king, and in fact, Elizabeth herself had to sit on a very low stool when she was in the same room with him. He even bossed the adult Mary around!

@chocolatefountain95 in that case never mind haha sorry :)

[chocolatefountain95]

@soccergirl97979 I was talking about Lady Jane Grey not Elizabeth Tudor

[soccergirl97979]

@chocolatefountain95 Elizabeth came to power when she was 25 actually

[chocolatefountain95]

@soccergirl97979 that would mean she would be nearly 20 when she became queen everyone knows that happened when she was in the middle of her teenage years

[soccergirl97979]

@chocolatefountain95 actually she was 13 when he was 9...
