I always try to understand who the person behind those icons are,\u201d Alicia von Rittberg, 28, who stars as Elizabeth, told the Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially with Elizabeth, who is the young woman behind this incredible female leader, there\u2019s no better way to understand why she was called \u2018The Virgin Queen,\u2019 and how she found her way in such a male dominated world than looking at her early years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Premiering Sunday, June 12th (9 p.m.), the story is set during the sixteenth century and starts after the death of Henry VIII, when his three children are pawns in a scheming court full of various players vying for power. There\u2019s the 10 year old boy king Edward (Oliver Zetterstr\u00f6m), devout Catholic older sister Mary (Romola Garai ) and middle child Elizabeth (von Rittberg, \u201cGenius\u201d) who has an uncertain future, since it seems like her younger brother will rule, and her infamous mom Anne Boleyn met a bloody and bitter end.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-6.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Alicia von Rittberg wearing a french hood sitting at a desk. \" class=\"wp-image-22616447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Alicia von Rittberg in \u201cBecoming Elizabeth.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Nick Briggs Unit Photographer \/<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the show, she lives with Henry\u2019s widow, Catherine Parr (Jessica Raine). Things become complicated when Catherine\u2019s husband, Thomas Seymour (Tom Cullen) takes an interest in Elizabeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most surprising thing for me was how dangerous that world was. It wasn\u2019t glossy at all. And how lonely she was. Her mother was dead since she was 3, her father died, she never knew who to trust,\u201d said von Rittberg. \u201cIn that vulnerable state of mind, she had such a difficult relationship to her stepfather. I didn\u2019t know that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think she wanted to be seen as \u2018The Virgin Queen\u2019 after such painful experiences. What we see is just an interpretation of a very complex first experience with love, and that made her the person she was later on. It\u2019s incredible to understand. We tried to be very careful with that relationship, and show all different sides of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-7.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Elizabeth (Alicia von Rittberg) with Thomas Seymor (Tom Cullen) in &quot;Becoming Elizabeth.&quot; \" class=\"wp-image-22616645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-7.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-7.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/becoming-elizabeth-7.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Elizabeth (Alicia von Rittberg) with Thomas Seymor (Tom Cullen) in \u201cBecoming Elizabeth.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Nick Briggs Unit Photographer \/<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The monarch has famously been played in other <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> and shows by other actresses such as Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren, and Judi Dench.\u00a0Von Rittberg said she watched all of their movies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to see what the other brilliant actresses who have played her did with that part. But, we\u2019re talking about the younger years [on the show], so I tried to develop a blind spot for her later years.

I learned calligraphy and her favorite dance, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/art\/la-volta\">La volta<\/a>, and I worked on my ancient Greek. I think by doing so, I got as close as I can to actually living the lifestyle that she lived.\u00a0Nowadays, we think that someone who is such a respected female leader has some kind of strong masculine voice. We tried\u2026to accept a softer way of leading, and see that as strength. That was something we really tried to find with Elizabeth.\u201d\u00a0\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
