You may like this, it parallels Jasper/Margaret in early years, then Lizzie/Henry, then Henry VIII/Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I/Robert Dudley... basically from the love that could never be due to circumstance, to a good thing with some minor hiccups to a full blown disaster, to a disaster averted due to Elizabeth understanding the implications for her reign - coming full circle to what her great-grandmother experienced. Beautifully made, as I think it highlights perhaps the nature vs. nuture theme... it shows Margaret's passionate side that was so ofen suppressed, same for Lizzie, Henry VIII and Anne who never had enough self control, Elizabeth who exercised a lot but perhaps not always as much as she should have.
