Rating: - Amazing read
This is one of the best PG tudor novels and i couldnt put it down. I love the way it deals with the little known older brother of Henry, Arthur and the way Catalina (Kathrine) is so determined. The way the book is written makes it really hard to not sympaphise with her and if you dont cry in the last chapter you have a heart of stone. The only problem with this is that you cant read it before you go to bed becasue you will HAVE to sat up all night to finnish it!

Rating: - The Best One?
I have now read all five of Gregory's novels set in the Tudor court. This was the last one I read and, I think, my favourite. It is the story of Katherine of Aragon, formerly Catalina, the Spanish princess, told mostly from her perspective.

Gregory opens the book with some scenes set in Spain, when Catalina was very young, giving the girl some background and showing how her family and upbringing affected and shaped her as a person and character. Then we move forward to when she comes ... Read More

This is my second of Gregory's books I have read, the first book I read was 'The other Boleyn girl' which is much better, it's much more structured and had more depth. 'The constant princess' is interesting enough to finish but it isn't a book I would recommend to people.

Rating: - Very nice filling just the bread was slightly stale!!!
At the moment I am going through a Philippa Gregory phase. I simply can't get enough of her Tutor novels. 'The Constant Princess' is my fourth Gregory novel to read but while I enjoyed it I certainly don't think it was as good as her other novels.

The main problem with 'The Constant Princess' is that it lacked the consistency to be found in Gregory's other books. It was a painfully slow-starter. Even leaving aside the tedious first chapter, which describes a battle in Spain (Gregory's ... Read More

Rating: - Katherine of Aragon - Queen of endurance and courage!
I never thought that the neglected Queen of The Other Bolyen Girl is such a woman with histry and story - the most loving and moving stories. The love depicted between her and Arthur is so deep and tearful, that no one could blame her for holding on to her great lie. Katherine is such a legend! I love this book more than The Other Boleyn Girl.
