But Harry isnt Harry anymore.

Hes Henry VIII and that means he can do what he wants.

Catherines achieved her destiny, and now she has to face all that entails.

Lets take a look at the final historical footnotes ofThe Spanish Princessfinale.

However, his ultimate moment of expiration was not as sudden as we see here.

On the show, Henry has a very bloody death, coughing up a lot of blood.

Lastly, Lady Margarets fierce insistence on keeping Henrys death a secret is quite true.

They kept Henrys death a secret until Harry could be safely accounted for and firmly declared King.

His death is particularly gruesome.

Co-creator Matthew Graham tells EWthey truncated the timeline of Dudleys arrest for treason and execution.

In reality, Dudley was imprisoned in the Tower for over a year.

Politically motivated executions quickly became a hobby for Harry.

In reality, Henry likely condoned these taxation policies and this charge was simply a way of covering tracks.

Not to mention, Dudley was universally reviled for what some have called a career of enthusiastic villainy.

Here, we see her hell-bent on revenge and ensuring her sons legacy.

He was 17 when his father died and thus unable to officially take the throne until his 18th birthday.

Here, we see a woman far more out of sorts.

So, here we are, Catherine has won.

She has Harry and the Crown.

And she has her doubts.

We know where Catherines story ends.

Though were going to get a lot more of her extraordinary life as we get there.

As Catherine says here, the wedding was a private affair at the Friars Church in Greenwich.

The only witnesses were Lord Steward Shrewsbury and groom of the privy chamber, William Thomas.

Their coronation was everything their wedding was not.

By all accounts, including Catherines letters to her father, the occasion was marked by continuous festival.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown after all….
