I hope that Edward is portrayed as a strong, healthy prince. I think it will be really sad if we see him as being very sickly and "destined to die". If I didn't know what was going to happen to him already, I would want his death to be a shock to me. Something that I wasn't expecting. So, I hope that he is portrayed as a stong boy. But, again, whatever happened in real life should prevail...:) Post reply Do you find this valuable?

atlantaboleynbalfour	3. RE: Edward: Like his father, or... Jun 23 2009, 11:58 AM EDT would be very different to see edward played as anything other than a sickly child,hes usually in bed, pale,stick thin and coughing up blood.So although he was never very fit, it would be fantastic to see him portrayed as a healthy child,just for a little while anyway x Post reply Do you find this valuable?

He lived until sixteen years of age - and can't have been unwell all the while. still the facts are the facts (aren't they?) SR Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Chocobasse10	5. RE: Edward: Like his father, or... Nov 16 2009, 5:56 AM EST I think they will portray Edward as a kind-hearted, strong boy, though a little fragile. A mix between sickly and healthy. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
fleur_de_lis	6. RE: Edward: Like his father, or... Nov 17 2009, 11:48 AM EST I hope he's portrayed as a healthy little boy. I do not know exactly when he got the measels but perhaps they can show him catching some childhood illness and have Henry freaking out about him but then he gets better again. From pictures i've seen of him though the young actor looks quite pale and there is a scene where he's in bed. Hopefully that's a scene where he is getting tucked in at night time and not being confided to bed because he is ill and weak. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

In real life, Edward was not really that weak as one might think - he was just not inclined towards sports. It was later in life that he probably caught TB. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Elliemental	8. RE: Edward: Like his father, or... Nov 17 2009, 1:06 PM EST Edward had Tuberculosis, he can`t have had it all of his life as TB simply doesn`t work that way (it would`ve killed him a lot sooner, had he been weak and sickly). Presumably, we`ll be leaving Edward at the age of nine, when he succeeds his father, so we should see a healthy young prince. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

I've only heard of him being sick at one stage before whatever fever/ influenza killed him, and if he was as sickly as some keep implying, then he wouldn't have survived that illness, would he?

I think part of it is because Henry treated Edward as weak. The boy was extremely sheltered and not allowed to play sports. Especially compared to Henry who was quite athletic most of his life, he could have been seen as sickly because he was always kept shut away for fear of him getting injured or sick.

You are probably right. Since he was the only heir, it seems very plausible that Henry might have done that. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
AJBates	13. RE: Edward: Like his father, or... Nov 18 2009, 12:00 AM EST I picture Edward kinda like Arthur who wasn't exactly healthy but wasn't really healthy either since both of them got the family illness of TB. The only reason Henry survived is cause they think that the illness that would have killed him just moved to his leg to just make him be in alot of pain. But they most likely will show Edward as strong and healthy because they portrayed Mary as strong and healthy, though talked about her illnesses a few times but never showed them. And she was supposedly always a very sick and fragile person. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

And she was supposedly always a very sick and fragile person." I thought Mary was only ill during her parents divorce, as a result of the stress endured, but she was however very thin, and quite pale in the years to follow, or something to that affect. I think she also suffered quite badly through her menstrual cycles, but i've just woken up, so i could be talking utter nonsense! Post reply Do you find this valuable?
AJBates	15. RE: Edward: Like his father, or... Nov 18 2009, 12:55 PM EST All of what I have read always pointed to Mary being sickly since she was born, after being born a small child that almost didn't survive as well. The only child of Henry's that thrived after being born was Henry Fitzroy and Elizabeth (along with his first son but he only lived a month so he couldn't have been that healthy) the others tended to all be on the weaker side.

From what I've read, Mary was a pretty healthy child, until her parents divorce, and from then on she wasn't the most healthy. Menstruation problems was what caused her the most problems I would think, but I think she suffered from some hardcore headaches= migraines which are HORRIBLE! I know from experience. X_X Elizabeth also, although pretty healthy, would get deathly sick; swelling of her body and not keeping her food down. She was the most sick when times were hard for her. When Mary put her on house arrest, Elizabeth was sick for most of the time. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

No, Mary was miraculously healthy from what i read, given the time she was born, her parents were thankful for that much at the least, especially Henry because he saw that himself and Katherine could have a healthy child, not just because she lived. People consider her to be a sickly child because she was quite slim, and short in height, in other words, didn't appear to be capable of bearing children. But that hardly means she was sick, she suffered dreadful menstruation cycles, which can cause migraines as Ellie suggested (but considering someone once made a remark about Mary being shortsighted, that could have been the cause of her headaches too, no glasses!). But when her parents seperated, that's when Mary's health started to dwindle, as a result of stress, major stress, i would imagine! Post reply Do you find this valuable?
