Aramide Tinubu In 16th century England, Lady Jane Grey was a 16-year-old girl who became the Queen of England for a paltry nine days before her head was swiftly removed from her body. Historians and fans of the Tudors know this sad tale, but Prime Video‘s “My Lady Jane,” created by Gemma Burgess, isn’t interested in historical facts. Instead, the quippy dramedy, which is based on the best-selling novel by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows, bends and twists Jane’s story.
In the same vein as Hulu’s “The Great,” the series is a rip-roaring and hilarious adventure full of magic, romance and bold female characters who take control of their legacies. The series opens with a snarky narrator setting the scene for the audience. He asks viewers to recall everything they know about Tudor history before throwing it away.
Instead of a pitiful headless teen, we meet Lady Jane Grey (newcomer Emily Bader), an aspiring herbalist, soothing her lady’s maid’s vaginal itch using a homemade salve. (Though the setting and costuming by Will Hughes-Jones and Stephanie Collie respectively set the scene, this certainly isn’t the Tudor era we’ve seen previously.) Despite Jane’s personal ambitions, her mother, the conniving bulldozer Lady Frances Grey (Anna Chancellor), has other plans for her daughters. Determined to secure her family’s future and wealth, she decides to marry Jane off to the notorious rake Guildford Dudley (Edward Bluemel).

Carol McGiffin and her husband Mark Cassidy look relaxed and absolutely besotted with each other during our gorgeous exclusive shoot in the south of France.

During our stunning shoot with Carol McGiffin and her husband Mark Cassidy in the south of France, Carol, 64, opened up on a range of topics in her typically outspoken manner - including her former Loose Women colleagues. Carol left the show last April, but explained that there are some current and former panellists with whom she happily stays in touch regularly, including Denise Welch, Kaye Adams and Jane Moore. And, asked about another friend and former colleague Ruth Langsford, who it was revealed last month is set to divorce from her husband Eamonn Holmes, Carol told OK! that she was very saddened to hear of their shock split and in a four-word statement said "I love them both" - but explained that she had not yet reached out to her friend as she didn’t want to overwhelm her, or add to any of the 'noise' surrounding their separation.
