  • Summary

  • Welcome back, beautiful queens! It's time to celebrate Pride Month with the wild tales of Christina of Sweden, a real royal rebel. We're talking birthrights, family drama, and a little bit of rule-breaking in this first of two episodes. Christina became Queen of Sweden at a very young age after the popular rule of her father, Gustav. But as she navigates the world during her regency she has to figure out who she can trust and learns that she likes breaking a rule or two.
