Spoiler alert: Don’t read if you haven’t seen the season 2 premiere of “Spanish Princess”, “Camelot” yet.
When the “Spanish Princess” returns for its second season, Queen Catherine (Charlotte Hope) and Henry VIII (Rueri O’Connor) are ruling the country together as Tudor’s home.
When the audience joins the royal couple, they are closer than ever; He has given birth to a royal heir; Her father, King Ferdinand of Spain (Antonio de la Torre) is visiting the royal court, and the costume is as grand and elegant as ever.
Bold prints, colors and embroidery are all behind the look of designer Palm Down for Queen Catherine. Her silhouette is even more attractive now that she has risen to power. But that’s a rocky road ahead for Catherine, as the Spanish king will have to face different perspectives when he needs a royal heir to anchor his relationship and his future.
Here, Down broke three keys from the first episode and hinted at what lies ahead for the Spanish princess and her royal court.
Catherine dressed to impress
“Katherine and Henry are young, have a sexy body and they are in a good place. Ferdinand, Catherine’s father is coming to visit and before the introduction of baby Henry IX, he was having this conversation with Lena, played by Stephanie Levy-John, about what to wear to the crown, ”Down said.
“[Catherine] She wants to impress her father and then the court because she has just become the Empress. It’s a dress to impress. The red he wears echoes the colors Henry wears because they were close and together. She represents the scene she shows to the court and her father. It also represents the joy of being a virgin and her mother.
“This fabric was made from Indian sari fabric. In that era, your clothes were hand embroidered, but for time and money it was impossible. I looked at Indian fabric because the sari has a mass of mass in it when you are making it, but it was great about that particular fabric that it had gold in it and it was already embroidered. Then we CV it into the rest of the pearl trim. We put a bar fitting on it, and it took a week to finish from start to finish, but it’s one of my favorite clothes. ”

“This was again made from Indian fabric, and I flipped it over because the right side was really shiny. I bought the braid from a London barn shop. For the sleeves, I bought silk from a local merchant, ”says Down about Catherine’s appearance.
“The copper fabric in the skirt had a bit of experimentation and I wasn’t sure if it would work, but there was a lot of yellow, but it would give the outfit a lift.
“The interesting thing was that I recycled it later in the series. The shape changes and I remove the sleeves, but recycling was something I did a lot throughout.
“She’s more trapped in the English court and her shapes are a little different this season. They have a smooth silhouette and lots of trim on it. ”
Catherine in the chapel
“The dress fabric is velvet [although it looks like silk], But it is a decorative velvet because it has more luster than it and does not have the regular velvet density. It gives this illusion of density and I used that fabric later in the season, but with extended prints, ”Down explains.
“He wears green before the army goes to war. Henry is also in the greenery and they are very much together, still dressing uniformly. Later, after her father betrayed her, she is wearing a dress and she is something different [and] You start to see their unity split because her father betrayed her so she wore something different.
“There is no print of this dress and it is very simple due to the spirit of the scene when she wears it in the chapel and is with the baby. I thought a red or gold dress would look very happy for her, and green silk would make her look very soft.
“It simply came to our notice then. I have to say, it was hard to marry the idea that we see in the episode, because there’s so much brilliance and fun, and then we arrive at this stunning scene with the baby and everything that’s going on. I felt that the green color for the color is too cold and it felt ideal for everything that goes on. ”
