About this listen
*A stunning new unabridged recording, available on audio download*
A splendid and sumptuous historical novel from the internationally bestselling author, Philippa Gregory, telling of the early life of Katherine of Aragon.
As a little girl Katherine of Aragon was betrothed to Arthur, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Henry VII of England, and was raised in the palace of the Alhambra, knowing that she would be queen of England.
In 1501, the teenage Spanish princess arrives in her new kingdom, but the future is turned upside down with the death of her handsome young husband – only six months after the wedding.
Transformed from beloved bride to superfluous widow, Katherine endures hardship and loneliness as the Tudor court slowly squeezes her out of royal circles. But Katherine never forgets her promise to her young husband that she would be a good Queen of England; and Katherine is determined not to fail, even if it means the greatest lie in English royal history…
With an exclusive afterword written and read by Philippa Gregory, exploring the inspiration behind The Constant Princess.

‘One of Gregory's great strengths as a novelist is her ability to take familiar historical figures and flesh them into living breathing human beings. The Constant Princess is a worthy successor to her previous novels about the Tudors’ Daily Express
‘Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing’ Daily Mail
‘Gregory is great at conjuring a Tudor film-set of gorgeous gowns and golden-lattered dining. She invokes some swoonsome images…while the politics are personal enough to remain pertinent’ DailyTelegraph

Such a great story
I love that the story is based on history, with a bit of extra interpretation. She gives life to the women, who are so often just a footnote in stories about Henry VIII. The writer draws such a vivid image with her words. I loved this book and I’m loving the whole series.

Fabulous historic novel
So very interesting and well read.
Historically correct for the most part as well.
Looking forward to book number 2.

Another enjoyable read
I am reading all these books in order so this one is pretty much on par with them all - the descriptive writing draws you into the story and keeps you captivated until the end
