Sky Arte Series Explores Royal Sibling Bonds
Sky Arte is launching a new series titled 'Storia di due sorelle' that examines the relationships between three pairs of sisters from the English royal dynasty: Elizabeth II and Margaret, Anne Boleyn and Mary Boleyn, and Elizabeth I and Mary I. The first episode, airing Friday, September 27, focuses on Queen Elizabeth II and her younger sister Margaret. Despite their contrasting personalities, they led very different lives until Margaret's death in 2002. Historians and biographers including Sarah Bradford, Judith Rowbotham, Luke Blaxill, Christopher Warwick, and Hugo Vickers provide insight into the private lives of these royal women beyond their public roles. The series is produced by Sky Arte, whose website is powered by Artribune, handling content and digital interface.
