* SuccessionCrisis: Ongoing throughout the series as the Lancasters and Yorks both rush to birth potential heirs to hold onto power.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Many character roles are handed down a generation:
** Both series begin with a newly-victorious king marrying a woman from the rival faction. In '' 'Queen'' this was Edward IV marrying Elizabeth Woodville, in '' 'Princess'' it was Henry VII marrying her daughter, Elizabeth of York.
** The elder Elizabeth in turn spends most of the series casting spells in secret, as her own mother Jacquetta had done years before. [[note]]This is explicitly said to be an hereditary trait.[[/note]]
** The story arc of Margaret Plantagenet - small, shy woman who eventually learns to stand up to the men around her - is much like that of her double-aunt Anne Neville.

* AscendedExtra: The central characters of this series are King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York.

** Richard III has different hair and body composition to Aneurin Barnard.
** The crown is a different design.
** The crown falls from Richard's head, rather than being grabbed from his corpse.
** It's actually in a field this time, whereas '' 'Queen'' set it in a forest for some reason. The battle was also moved from winter to a more accurate summer.
