• The only original cast member from "The White Queen" who reprised their role in "The White Princess" was Caroline Goodall who portrayed Duchess Cecily, grandmother to the "White Princess" Elizabeth of York.

• In 1486, the year Elizabeth of York became Queen Elizabeth, her mother was 49 and she was 20. Elizabeth Woodville would die in 1492 and Elizabeth of York in 1503. With a reign of 18 years, Elizabeth Woodville reigned longer than her daughter's 16 years.

• Henry VII marked a new era in the British Monarchy. Since Richard II, there had been a peaceful transfer of power until Henry VI was deposed, a period of years. Since Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III were both deposed. Despite the turmoil surrounding Mary's ascent and the question of Lady Jane Grey's rule (no opposition stood in the way of Mary's attempt to take what, by right, hers), the Tudors successfully transferred power from one to the next. This continued into the Stuart line until Charles I was executed, a period of 186 years.
