The Tudors | Effort Worthwhile | SHOWTIME 

Anne of Cleves was the luckiest of all Henry’s wives.

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 feel like Henry was almost a little disappointed that she did not call him father when she thanked him for the present. I noticed that Mary tended to call him father but Elizabeth didn't

That girls been neglected, ignored, talked about. Elizabeth and Mary both went through alot.

Terrible father, terrible husband. In this series we see how damaged and broken Mary was because of his neglect and absence.

After Elizabeth came to court as a teen, king Henry was so impressed with her that he commissioned a painting, which reflected her smartness.

I wish this show had a spin off leading towards Elizabeth's rise

I just love that Elizabeth is able to spend time in her mother’s childhood home, with Anne of Cleves who was the closest step mother she ever had

That actress plays young Elizabeth very well. Then I like Cate Blanchette's adult Elizabeth.

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.

That side eye between Anne and Elizabeth... perfect! ♥️

One of the things I notice about Elizabeth is that she very surprised when Henry gives her a present. But also how she's very nervous around him. As if she knows if she was to say the wrong thing Henry would have her thrown into the tower. Also from what I've read about her. She loved Henry very much but was fearful of him.

This scene of Elizabeth dancing remembers me the scene where Anne Boleyn was teaching to her ladies how to dance! The way the both raised their arm...

They should have given Elizabeth more scenes.

that young actress did an excellent job portraying Elizabeth. she comes across as witty, graceful, charming and aloof.

"For without knowledge, life is not worth having" I love that line

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

I think Henry was obviously playing favorites. Elizabeth looks like seeing her father or him even giving a actual thought to her was the last thing she expected from him.

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.

Her name is Laoise Murray, the girl that played Lady Elizabeth, Anne's daughter on the show.

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!

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

Theyre like just having a working relationship. And the affection was subtle. It's adorable to see it on Henry VIII and Elizabeth.

@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.

my dear elizabeth, i knew there was a reason why you were always my favorite in english history!

I wonder if it disturbed her to know that she was in her executed mother's house? I would be creeped out

This was at Hever Castle (in the show), Anne’s former home. Elizabeth is dancing where her mother used to walk

I always wonder about that glance between Elizabeth and Anne when they're curtsying. Its almost like they're conspiring something between them.

Anne of cleves has such a beautiful voice

Henry must be probably looking at her and saying: Oh Anne, it seems like you have come to the death ones to just please me again

Elizabeth spoke like her mother. It is amazing how she got that from her.

I love the moments between Henry and his children. The good, loving, sweet ones. :)

He sees her mother in her 😩❤️

She is not what id call a typicale beauty but there is something about her :-) I hope we will see her in feature movies.

Anne of cleves and Catherine parr are the best mothers. Both of them treat the kids like their own children

Elizabeth is like her mother and Henry still love Elizabeth’s mother Anne Boleyn

I love how gracious Anne of Cleves is with everyone, but especially with Henry's children. She truly would have been an amazing stepmother.

He loved Elizabeth,no matter what daughter of whom he loved, he still loved Her.

@TheInundation absolutely !!! her acting is very good, I like it. I don't know what everyone's going on about. she plays the role with elegance and cautiousness.

i love elizabeths dress!

I love this scene with Henry and Elizabeth. I think that they did a great job casting this girl as Elizabeth That is my opinion

Isn't this hever castle? Where her mother, Anne Boleyn grew up and lived as shown earlier on in season 1. Or am I mistaken?

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.

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 she wasn’t bitching around

You seem to be perfectly fine with the fact the Henry is not 400lbs like he should accurately be portrayed. Elizabeth is just fine.

I mentioned this Elizabeth was luckier in her father's favor than Mary was since Elizabeth was more shrewd. She knew how dangerous it was to attach herself to her mother's memory like what Mary did. Mary never forgave her father for what her mother went through and nailed herself to her mother's name--faith, and culture and all. Elizabeth schooled herself to forget her mother for the time being--even though she'll grieve at heart for losing her mother at such an early age, she'll never show it. Her governess Katherine Ashley (Kat) was the mother she never had for the most part--all the way up to her adult life. Elizabeth concentrated on being her father's daughter.

Elizabeth is a princess of england

damn it, the actress looks perfectly fine and pretty! I think she's charming!

The actress who played Anne of Cleves is so cute and beautiful

Am I the only one that wonders at their getting up from such deep curtsies in one smooth motion?

@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 always felt like Anne of Cleves was Elizabeth favorite step mother.

Tbh she was actually the one that really out lived all of them so yeah...

Henry read Tactitus' writings about Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero, and thought it was an instruction manual

JRM looks soooo adorable and sweet in this scene ^^

I do not understand why henry divorced ann of cleves. she was adorable and noble lady and be lovely from his children.

@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.

Henry and Anne got on much better after she became his sister .

Anne of cleves was so kind to Henry and his children

@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.

That's the oldest 7 year old I've ever seen

Weirldy Joss Stone is actually that nice is real life. ❤️

Elizabeth's Lady in waiting at 1:37 is very kind to her. She seems to defend her when her other lady in waiting (I think her name is Lady Bryant or something, I forgot) treating to hit her when she was a toddler

She's quite perfect as the gawky Elizabeth who is jsut starting out in life.

The way she said your majesty 🤣🤣🤣🤣

1:38 Helga, from Vikings! Hirst really makes sure to include his daughters in every show he's directed.

i absolutely love the TUDORS

I think that Henry loved both his daughters and his daughters both loved him, but naturally, Elizabeth would be on edge and not trust him after Anne Boleyn

@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.

Elizabeth was living with Anne of Cleves? Who raised Elizabeth?

I think he genuinely cared for Anne of Cleves and she for him, over time; he did refer to her as his 'sister', and left her a generous settlement upon the annulment, even allowing her to marry if she wished since their marriage had not been consummated. Out of all his wives, Catherine Parr was the lucky one because she outlived him, however, Anne of Cleves, though having the shortest reign as Queen of all of his wives, is luckier that Parr because not only did she escape with her head intact, but also the settlement, an honorary member of his family, and given precedence over all other women save his wife and daughters. She outlived Parr by nine years. Though she seemed to dislike Catherine Parr and fell out with Mary I after Mary's coronation for seeming to be sympathetic and in favor of Elizabeth, though she had changed to Roman Catholic. I don't think Anne gets enough credit. She was smart, and I think, in a way, her foreign blood saved her life. Henry had married nothing but English roses- excluding Catalina de Aragon- and if she'd been beheaded or harmed in any way on foreign soil, it would have probably caused an international incident, similar to Catherine, which is why he annulled/divorced both. His foreign wives did immeasurably better than his English wives; they escaped with their heads and lives. Parr doesn't count in my opinion, because she outlived him.

This scene specially touched me.

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.

So excited to begin watching this series!

She got rich, had a house and a title after she and Henry divorced what a lucky woman she is

Anne of Cleves is my 2 favorite Queen and this Scene is the best Scene in the whole Series.

Why is he so fine?!

Esta escena es muy linda... !! excelente interpretación de todos los actores!!!!! Bellos todos!!!!

Elizabeth : ''An father, in the 1580s i plan to wipe out the Spanish Amarda, steal their gold, an create the first English colony in America''

It's the King! Ring a ding ding

@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.

@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.

Oh shizzzz Joss Stone!

Anna cleaves good mother the in England history into the Tudor .

If only he was actually that kind to Anne of Cleves...

Elizabeth really put to use the hair crimpers they didnt have back then.

Book swapping is what Henry VIII did with Elizabeth's mother. They were both extremely bright.

Which episode is this?

@HistoryGirl345 She is kind of stiff, isn't she? I'm still puzzled as to how she jumped three years between Anne's marriage and divorce.

Is this a scene from the tudors?

Henry was gingerhaired

what episode is this?

@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! :)

Where can i get a tiara like Elizabeth’s? It’s so lovely

What was that Anne said when he said he came for supper?

Isnt anne supposed to be ugly? If thats ugly back then. I must be a troll

@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

Is there a special technique used for the women to drop to the floor like that? it's very quick.

What show is that I wanna watch it

Umm is she sitting on Henry's bad leg?
