"This movie introduced me to royal romance. Although not an exact adaptation of the book, it stands alone as a good historical, romantic drama."

"Oh gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve read it, but I would say I love that Mary was able to get out of court/danger and live the rest of her days with someone she loved and children. "
