The White Princess is the British-American historical fiction television series 2017 for Starz, based on Philippa Gregory 2013 novel of the same name and, to a lesser extent, its sequel Curse King . This is the sequel to The White Queen , a miniature made by BBC 2013 that adapted three previous Gregory novels.
In the eight-episode series, the marriage of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York effectively ended the Rose War by uniting Lancaster and York homes. However, their hostility and mistrust - as well as their mother's political plot - threaten to tear both the marriage and the kingdom.
