Margaret Douglas: The Other Tudor Princess brings to life the story of Margaret Douglas, a shadowy and mysterious character in Tudor history - but who now takes centre stage in this tale of the bitter struggle for power during the reign of Henry VIII. Margaret is Henry's beloved niece, but defies the King by indulging in two scandalous affairs. Yet when the King turns against his second wife Anne Boleyn and declares his daughters Mary and Elizabeth bastards, it is Margaret he appoints as his heir to the throne.
