Join Amy and Johanna as they delve into the world of cinematic queens. Examining how Mary Queen of Scots and Christina of Sweden are portrayed in film, Johanna and Amy will explore how these depictions affect modern popular perceptions of these royal women.

It masterfully weaves together these queens’ hopes, fears, and dreams into a powerful drama of court intrigue which continues to define their relationship in the present day.
