* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In ''Mary, Bloody Mary'', the titular princess is named Princess of Wales at the age of nine. This never happened in RealLife; although Mary was invested with the arms and seal of the Prince of Wales, allowed to live in the official seat at Ludlow, and regarded by her contemporaries as effectively ''being'' Princess of Wales, she was never given that title.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: "Kid" is somewhat stretching it because Henry also grows into a teenager, but ''Patience, Princess Catherine'' includes the young Henry's perspective alongside Catherine's and shows him as an exuberant, boisterous, and outgoing youth who befriends Catherine when she first arrives to be his brother's bride and grows up into her handsome PrinceCharming--a far cry from the AdiposeRex, wife-beheading tyrant he became in later life.

** Catherine's marriage to Arthur in ''Patience, Princess Catherine'' is arranged to secure an alliance between Spain and England, and the main reason Henry VII refuses to send Catherine back home after Arthur's death is because he wants to keep her very rich dowry (to the point that after his wife and son's deaths, the possibility of him marrying ''Catherine'' just to maintain the alliance is brought up). In the end, Catherine ends up having a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage with Arthur's younger brother Henry (that, sadly and obviously, does not last).

** By stark contrast, the end of the story sees Henry VIII married to Jane Seymour, who was a kindly stepmother to both Mary and Elizabeth, and persuaded Henry to allow his daughters to return to court. Mary in particular was very fond of her and even served as chief mourner when Jane died after the birth of Edward VII.

* BigSisterBully: Mary Boleyn is this to Anne in ''Doomed Queen Anne'', being haughty, condescending, and constantly rubbing it into Anne's face that she is the more beautiful and popular of the two. One of the reasons for Anne's drive to become queen is her desire to see Mary be humbled and bow at her feet, which she declares to her face...but by the time Anne gets what she wants, she's far from happy.
