Michelle Fairley Joins White queen Sequel The White Princess 

Michelle Fairley is returning to premium cable in a regal, heralded role that’s part of an adaptation of a popular book and… yeah, sorry, it’s not Lady Stoneheart.

, based on Philippa Gregory’s best-selling novel, the network announced Tuesday. Fairley will play Margaret Beaufort, the obstinate mother of King Henry VII, who clashes with her new daughter-in-law Princess “Lizzie” Elizabeth of York (

will tell the story of England’s War of the Roses from the vantage point of its female figures. Per the official announcement: “As Margaret’s influence over her son begins to wane and Lizzie’s star rises, Margaret begins to unravel as the sins of the past and present weigh heavily on her conscience and her relations with Henry are at risk of potentially imploding.”

Production on the drama will begin in England later this year.

Doubt this is anything like The White Queen.

Considering Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville were in love and Gregory starts off White Princess with Henry VII raping Elizabeth of York? Completely.

I still have a tiny bit of hope that she’ll return to GoT.

Nah, I figured Lady Stoneheart was a bust after they killed Roose. Really glad to see her get another epic series gig though. And I loved the White Queen, so Princess is getting watched, lol.
