Set against the backdrop of Charles II's vibrant and scandalous court, the narrative explores the challenges faced by Catherine of Braganza, the Catholic queen struggling to conceive an heir. Despite the pressure from courtiers advocating for her divorce, Catherine remains resolute in maintaining her position. The tension between her desire for acceptance and the expectations of the English people creates a compelling story of resilience and determination amid the political and personal turmoil of the Restoration era.
