Emily Bader as Lady Jane Gray in My Lady Jane
The Big Picture I can't remember when I first heard the story of Lady Jane Grey. At first, I thought it was included in the historical notes of Scholastic's Royal Diaries book about Elizabeth I, but it's not . All I know is 1) I was young, probably not much older than 11, and 2) It freaked me out to no end. An unwilling young woman suddenly made Queen of England, and, within nine days, found guilty of crimes and executed by her cousins? It seemed supremely unfair.
'My Lady Jane' Doesn't Sacrifice Romance in the Name of Independence Something I've seen happen far too often for my liking — be it in general discourse with people in my day-to-day life, or in media itself — is the idea that romance and independence/character growth are somehow mutually exclusive.
Trust me, the marketing is not luring you in with false promises. When it plays up the swooniness of Jane and Guildford's relationship, that's because it's a huge part of the story. Their feelings for each other are actually inextricable from the drama at large. The plot does not work without the romance. On the flip side, the romance does not work without Jane's interests and aspirations, which is part of what not only brings them together but keeps them together.
My Lady Jane also follows the modern — and honestly overdue — trend of presenting a historical setting populated by a diverse ensemble. Unlike something like Bridgerton, however, which made that diversity a part of the story — sometimes successfully, sometimes less so — My Lady Jane takes more of a 1997 Cinderella approach: it is what it is, and you will roll with it, as the narrative will not stop and hold your hand through the idea that history was not lily-white.
