The White Princess episode 7 promo for ‘Two Kings’ (Video)

Perkin’s arrival to the court forces Lizzie to make a tough decision, and causes a rift between her and Henry in “The White Princess” episode 7, ‘Two Kings.’

The unmasking of Perkin Warbeck as a pretender and his subsequent capture in “English Blood on English Soil” will cause a host of new problems for Lizzie and Henry in the May 28 episode of The White Princess.

“The Boy” will be brought before the court where his punishment will be decided in the upcoming seventh episode, entitled, “Two Kings.” But as the title suggests, much of King Henry VII’s kingdom views him as the pretender, and therefore his moves in dealing with Perkin will be crucial in his efforts to bring long-term peace and stability to England.

The episode 7 synopsis confirms that Perkin will bring more drama to the palace with his arrival for both Henry and Lizzie alike:

"“A pretender to the throne is held captive at court, creating a new rift in Lizzie and King Henry’s marriage; Lizzie faces an impossible choice and makes a risky move to try to eliminate the threat to her family.”"

The promo for the newest installment shows the young man defiantly declaring before the queen that he is”the son of King Edward IV, and I am rightful King of England.” But he is soon forced to atone for his rebellion, first by being paraded through the streets of London to be humiliated by its citizens, and later getting a swift punch to the face by the king.

But trouble is also brewing between Lizzie and Henry, not just due to the arrival of Perkin, but also his wife, Cathy Gordon, who’s seen dancing with Henry. The queen is seen tearfully telling her husband, “You’re tearing us apart.”

The images, along with Margaret Beaufort’s words suggests that Henry may be unfaithful to his wife with their new guest. “Men are weak. Women must be stronger,” she says. The clip closes with a stone-faced Lizzie facing Cathy Gordon.
