Quotes 

• Catherine of Aragon : Does it always rain this much in England, Duke Stafford?

  Edward Stafford : It's Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, and, no, it doesn't. Sometimes it hails or snows or floods. But the sun always comes out in the end. You know, you really should have landed at Southampton. We'll escort you to Dogmersfield, where the king's mother will now greet you. But your beauty does cheer the rainy day, as does your lady. What's your name, Spanish beauty?

  Rosa : I am Rosa de Vargas, senor.

  Catherine of Aragon : My ladies are to marry nobles of the court. They will be chosen by the prince and I for their piety.

  Edward Stafford : For their piety.

  [laughs] 

  Edward Stafford : Well, what a pity I have a wife already.

  Catherine of Aragon : Prince Arthur wrote to me of chivalry and faith. I do not think that England lacks for piety.

  Lina de Cardonnes : Stop looking at him, Rosa.

  Rosa : I am looking at the English trees.

• Edward Stafford : My lady, if you'll excuse me, I'll see to it the soldiers are billeted in the stables?

  [Margaret nods] 

  Lina de Cardonnes : The... the stables?

  Margaret Beaufort : Where they will sleep.

  Edward Stafford : [They go]  Over there.

  Lina de Cardonnes : Here? No. They are not animals.

  Margaret Beaufort : It was good enough for our Lord.

  Lina de Cardonnes : Is it good enough for you? These men are soldiers of Spain. They have fought beside Queen Isabella of Castile.

  Margaret Beaufort : I have given my instructions.

  Lina de Cardonnes : Does your prince wish for the smell of caca in his castle? These men were brought as a gift to him, part of the Infanta's dowry.

• Catherine of Aragon : This is not the palace.

  Edward Stafford : This is the tower. You'll stay in tower apartments tonight. This is the custom before a royal wedding. They are most comfortable.

• Prince Harry : Hello.

  Edward Stafford : May I introduce Prince Henry, Duke of York?

  Prince Harry : Harry. People call me Harry.

  Prince Harry : Do you like it here? It's cozy, isn't it?

  Charlie Brandon : I'm Charlie Brandon, not yet married.

  Prince Harry : It's, uh, me who'll be leading you up the aisle tomorrow. Lucky you, eh?

  Catherine of Aragon : Thank you for your welcome, Prince Harry.
