Instead, Elizabeth had the forethought to hide him in case something nefarious was afoot and spirit him out of the country as needed. According to the show (again, based on a series of books by Philippa Gregory), while Edward V was killed in the Tower of London during Richard III’s reign, his younger brother, Richard of York, wasn’t. So, let’s pause there and discuss that little point. The quickly find out that it was Tudor which puts them in the position of 1) preparing Lizzie to marry the victor against her wishes and 2) hiding Richard, Duke of York. She is waiting somewhere in the country with her mother, Elizabeth Woodville, and her younger sisters, Cecily, Anne, Katherine and Bridget, to find out whether York or Tudor won. Whatever the case was, in the White Princess, Elizabeth, known as “Lizzie,” went so far as to sleep with Richard prior to the battle. In a recent biography of her, Alison Weir has gone so far as to claim there is enough evidence to make it plausible Elizabeth was planning on marrying him, thus solidifying the future security of her and her siblings. As we covered in the EOY link above, there is some uncertainty around the exact nature of Richard’s relationship with his niece and there were contemporary rumors about whether he was planning on marrying her after the death of his wife, Anne Neville. ![]() Now for the show: We open where the White Queen left off, in August 1485 in the aftermath of the Battle of Bosworth in which Henry Tudor defeated Richard III. For more on her actual background, you can read more here. The White Princess dramatizes the life of their eldest daughter, Elizabeth of York, who married Henry VII in 1485. If you would like to know who that is then I would direct you here, here or here. In this case that’s not really a huge concern as I don’t think most people are watching this show, but if it’s not a worthwhile exercise it’s at least an interesting one.Īs some background, the White Princess is meant to follow a 2013 series called the White Queen, which covered the life of Elizabeth Woodville, consort of Edward IV, from 1464 to 1485. But there’s value in considering how history is being dramatized, if for no other reason than to be aware of what false bits are going to become lodged in the public consciousness. I debated whether I was going to cover this series for a couple reasons: 1) it’s based on a book I haven’t read 2) it’s most certainly not going to even attempt accuracy and 3) it’s all a bit much. ![]() ![]() However, Prince’s estate refused O’Connor to use her own reinditon of the song in her 2022 documentary Nothing Compares. “You’ve got to be crazy to be a musician,” O’Connor told The New York Times in 2021 when asked about Prince, “but there’s a difference between being crazy and being a violent abuser of women…As far as I’m concerned, is my song.” I have ceased singing other songs over the years for the same reason.” “If I were to sing it just to please people, I wouldn’t be doing my job right, because my job is to be emotionally available. “I don’t want audiences to be disappointed coming along to a show and then not hearing it, so I am letting you know here that you won’t,” she wrote on Facebook. The price you pay for being so successful is an awful, aching loneliness, and I think he was terribly lonely, terribly vulnerable.” She added, “The loneliness of fame, I think, was ultimately his undoing.”įor a brief period of time, she refused to perform the song live. “I just felt terribly sorry and sad for him of the loneliness of his death.

But having said that, though, I won’t lie. Obviously, I came away not liking him very much and not particularly wanting to go around to see him again. When asked about the encounter and her opinion on Prince by People, she said, “It certainly didn’t change my opinion of him as an artist, which was the only opinion I could have had. But this time, we’ve somehow arrived beside the front door. A few more thumps get exchanged and he goes upstairs. “On the first thump I get, I realized he’s got something in the pillow, stuffed down the end, designed to hurt,” she wrote. ![]() The singer remembered a violent pillow fight between her and the “Purple Rain” musician. O’Connor recalled the moment that she met Prince at his house in her memoir Rememberings. “Nothing Compares 2 U” is a heartfelt ballad that depicts extreme longing for a lover.

If you have any questions or if any part of this lesson was unclear simple leave a comment below. This is a refreshing change when compared to alternatives like Inkscape, which requires you to restart the application before the newly-installed font populates, or Illustrator, which has been know to have its share of quirks thanks to TypeKit. The advantage of using Affinity Designer is that the fonts library updates in real time. You can also use your fonts in other applications, whether it be for graphic design, desktop publishing, video editing, or anything else for that matter. This is beneficial because it means that once your fonts are installed, you’re not limited to just Affinity Designer. Instead, you add them to your device, and then Affinity will reference the installed fonts in use. ConclusionĪs previously mentioned, you technically cannot add fonts to Affinity Designer. The fonts library will update in real time. If you already have Affinity Designer opened then there is no need to restart it.
