All ten episodes from the first season of the Emmy Award-nominated
historical drama series focusing on the life and romances of the
young King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Set in Renaissance
Britain during the early part of Henry's reign, the series portrays
the passionate and irascible king, his Spanish Queen Catherine
(Maria Doyle Kennedy), his ministers Sir Thomas More (Jeremy
Northam) and Cardinal Wolsey (Sam Neil), and a host of would-be
mistresses and wives. As bold and passionate about his country as
he is about his women, Henry's obsession with ensuring his legacy
leads to the beheading of both friends and foes, the waging of wars
and a challenge to the Catholic Church - events that forever
changed the face of the British Empire. Episodes comprise: 'In Cold
Blood', 'Simply Henry', 'Wolsey, Wolsey, Wolsey!', 'His Majesty,
the King', 'Arise, My Lord', 'True Love', 'Message to the Emperor',
'Truth and Justice', 'Look to God First' and 'The Death of Wolsey'.
Box set containing two popular feature films. In 'The Princess
Diaries' (2001), San Francisco teenager Mia Thermopolis (Anne
Hathaway) just wants to get through the rigours of high school
unharmed, avoiding as many of life's petty embarassments as
possible. However, when her long-lost grandmother Clarisse (Julie
Andrews) appears out of the blue, Mia gets the surprise of her
life; it seems she is the princess of a tiny principality called
Genovia, and is in fact next in line to the throne. Angry that this
news has been kept from her, Mia nevertheless agrees to embark on a
crash course of princess lessons. But when she begins to get lost
in a comic flurry of bungled state engagements and over-eager media
attention, the prospective princess begins to wonder if the royal
life is really the right life for her. In 'The Princess Diaries 2 -
Royal Engagement' (2004), American high school graduate Mia
Thermopolis has just turned 21, and is being groomed to succeed her
grandmother as Queen of Genovia. But it materialises that an
ancient Genovian law decrees that unmarried women cannot take the
throne, and the bitter Viscount Mabrey (John Rhys-Davies) and his
cronies oppose her coronation. When Queen Clarice (Julie Andrews)
asks that Mia be given 30 days to find a husband, Mabrey is
reluctant to allow it - but little does he know that his own
nephew, the young and handsome Nicholas (Chris Pine), has caught
Mia's eye.
