Often want not just to look at beautiful Actresses and their sumptuous costumes, but also to expand their horizons. To combine business with pleasure will help movies and TV shows dedicated to the Queens of England, Denmark, Sweden and Spain.

American-British historical show devoted to the biography of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The events of the first season begins in 1947, since the marriage of Elizabeth. In the first episodes, viewers will see the tragic death of king George, the coronation of the new and complex relationships of the Queen with her Prime Ministers.

The plans of the founders to devote each season (ten episodes) the decade of the reign of Elizabeth II. The series will be the most expensive in the history of Netflix. The budget is only the first season amounted to $ 156 million.

The series begins in 1837 when a young Victoria only ascend to the throne of great Britain. She begins as an insecure, sometimes capricious girl who nevertheless is designed to become domineering, energetic woman. Eight episodes of the series very little to tell about the first years of the reign of Queen Victoria, but the Directors and writers they had.

The creators of this series was even more succinct: for 10 series runs for 30 years, which fit one of the most important events in English history — the War of the roses in the fifteenth century.

Geneticheskii the conflict between the Plantagenets of this period were bloody and cruel: Lancaster, York, or Tudor... the Main characters in the TV series three: Elizabeth Woodville, Anne Neville and Margaret Beaufort. All three are fighting for the throne, helping her husband, son or brother to gain the throne.

This series is a real godsend for all who love historical movie. The series shows the formation of the famous Spanish Queen Isabella of Castile. For three seasons the audience will enjoy the story of the transformation of a small and delicate girl in one of the most influential women in the world.

A famous painting about the French Queen in the performance of charming Kirsten dunst leaves a mixed impression. The Director definitely had an alternative point of view on the history of the era and the personality of Marie-Antoinette, which was accused that she did not understand and did not share the hardships of his people.The audience has a great chance to make up their minds about a Princess that is destined to die a horrible death by decapitation.

The action series is set in the XVIII century in Denmark. Danish king Christian VII suffered from serious mental illness, preferring to while away their days in the brothels of Copenhagen. Thus, as you might guess, it only pushes young beauty Queen Carolina Matilda.

But the German doctor Johann Friedrich Struenze — performed by well-known Mads Mikkelsen is not because he does not drink, make merry and not lost somewhere.

This time the scene is Sweden, and the main character — the Danish Princess Sofia Magdalena. His Majesty the Swedish king Gustav III, went down in history as a reformer and an adventurer, however, did not make sense in intimate relationships.By the age of 30, being married, he was still a virgin. Gustav can't build a relationship with his wife, afraid of intimacy, but realizes that he needs an heir. In this, the king decides, help him... the groom!

It is not difficult to guess, the film tells the story of Mary Stuart, which was Queen of Scotland as wife of Francis II was Queen of France and claimed the English throne. The film, on the one hand, can be perceived as a biography, on the other hand, the adaptation of the novel by Stefan Zweig Maria Stuart.

A series about a woman named Wu Zetian, first and only woman in Chinese history, received the Imperial title. Beauty From Ru And arrives at the Palace to become one of the hundreds of concubines of the Emperor. But many girls worth it for the fleeting attention of the Son of Heaven. Ru And be a tough fight for proximity to the throne...

Again China, this time a little later. Very difficult from the point of view of the plot of the movie is full of Palace intrigues, love Affairs and complicated relationships between the characters. This film can undoubtedly be called the "Golden flower of Chinese cinema".
