England's Next Top Prince Consort

England’s Next Top Prince Consort turns Elizabethan politics into a chaotic reality competition as Queen Elizabeth I momentarily abandons statecraft to evaluate a lineup of suitors—Philip II of Spain, the Duke of Anjou, Charles II of Austria, and the ever-intrusive Robert Dudley—under the dubious guidance of judges Walsingham, Cecil, Dudley, and a confused Shakespeare. Confessionals function as court intrigue, alliances form and implode, and a cryptic lady-in-waiting named Balthazar quietly tracks every secret. Assassination rumors, theatrical entrances, and relentless scheming pile up as each contender fights for the queen’s hand and the power attached to it.
