Feed Your Royal Addiction with These 9 Netflix Shows (‘The Crown’ & ‘The Tudors’ Not Included)
‘versailles’
If you love the movie Marie Antoinette and opulent period fashion, then look no further than Versailles. This series centers around King Louis XIV, who gained notoriety for the elaborate nature of his court rituals at—you guessed it—Versailles.
‘reign’
She may have been a teen queen, but Reign’s portrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots gives us full-on sex, drama and political games of chess. Think Gossip Girl, but, like, historic.
‘medici’
Murder! Deceit! Game of Thrones’s own Robb Stark (actor Richard Madden) stars in this drama set in 15th-century Florence. Medici follows a banking heir from an aristocratic family who’s out to further his family’s agenda. The royal tie-in? The Medici family produced not one but two queen regents of France and ultimately obtained the hereditary titles of Duke of Florence and Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
