Overview
- The six-episode drama from Javier Olivares adapts Pilar Eyre’s novel to recount the life of Victoria Eugenia de Battenberg.
- Filmed in 2023, the series was held back for roughly two years and was shown in countries such as Portugal and Finland before its Spanish debut.
- Olivares has publicly criticized the prolonged wait, saying the current environment makes it very difficult to work.
- While it begins as a biographical portrait, the narrative moves into political territory from the third episode, touching on World War I, the Disaster of Annual and the Primo de Rivera dictatorship.
- RTVE pairs the fiction premiere with the documentary series “Victoria Eugenia, historia de un amor trágico” to further explore the monarch’s life.
