A man and a woman were never
at less risk of being natural.
I am not even supposed
to be here, Elizabeth.
And yet...
I have never felt
more natural.
And I too.
Both of us, I fancy, have spent
so long in the glare of court gossip
that... that privacy
seems unnatural.
- Mistress Val Leseur?
- No, sir.
Lady Anne?
Where is everybody?
Where is Her Majesty?
We understand
she is at Greenwich.
She spends
much time there.
The air is good there.
- What?
- Good Air.
And why are you
not with her?
That is indeed
a very good question.
My Lord?
I think it may be that...
Simier's Master
has arrived.
Anjou?
At Greenwich?
The Queen
is ready to be wooed.
Why should he not
be here, my lord?
Is it any
concern of yours?
You know my concern,
Lord Burghley.
I counsel
out of love for her.
This marriage
will not go.
Her heart
will be broken.
Not yours.
Or his, if he had one.
Personally I never
cared for the Dutch.
I find them common.
But you came to their aid.
They are a nation
of shoemakers, ma'am.
them than the Spanish.
Ugh.
And besides,
they are Protestant...
and I have this weakness
for Protestants.
Does it extend to becoming
a Protestant yourself?
My Catholic relations
are far worse than yours.
They keep trying
to kill me.
- Mary, Queen of Scots.
- Ah.
You charming
French Cousin.
When she was betrothed
who was to be
the King of France,
it seemed most romantic.
But of course
Mary was only five.
Poor little thing.
She was Queen of France after all!
Queen of France,
then Queen of Scotland
and now...
she's nothing.
The park's deserted.
Empty of Frenchmen.
The duller for it then.
Why did you hide it
from me, Bess?
Can I not keep my counsel
if I choose?
Am I bound to you, sir?
If you cannot read my silence
then you are nothing.
So what manner of man
is this Duke d'Anjou?
Hmm?
- He is personable.
- Oh.
We like him well.
So you'll help him
retake the Netherlands?
Can you not
wish me happy, Robin?
Would my contentment
be such a burden to you?
I swear, I did not think it
would ever be granted me,
but these
last few weeks l...
- I cannot lie to you, madam.
- There's a new failing in you.
This marriage must not be.
When we were young and fair,
I sought you for my wife.
But you spurned me.
You said "Go.
Go seek some otherwhere.
Importune me no more."
And now...
And now?
Now would you bid me
hide a passion...
when a passion's caught me?
Me.
Late fruit of the tree,
a breath away from withering.
I pray you do not work on your brothers
in the council in this matter.
That is my stern command.
