Question
I'm sending you a lot these days!
I remember seeing another movie when I was younger.
I remember a King who gets sick of his wives and gets rid of them, I think by beheading them. He has a daughter by one of them and eventually the King marries a woman and the daugher bonds with the stepmother. Eventually the King dies and his son (around the age of 8) becomes King. The daughter falls in love with the head army officer. At some point the young kings advisors convince him that the head army officer has betrayed him somehow and they have him put to death before the pricess can get to her brother in time to tell him it's a scam. At the end of the movie her brother dies and she becomes queen.

Hi again Alisha,

First, as for your previous question , about the boy who paints , and the father who is also a painter,...although the plot sounds familiar, I'm afraid I can't help you out with the title.
Maybe one of the other Experts will know.

Regarding this last question,...I don't know what film that would be either.  The reason is
that  the story you've described is most certainly the story of England's  King Henry VIII
( King Henry the Eighth ).  He killed, or got rid of his six wives,  and although he wants his throne to go to his son when he dies,..his Only son dies when a child, and his daughter Elizabeth I, becomes the famous queen.

Dozens of films have been made about the lives of both Henry,..and Elizabeth,...and they all tell the same story of course,..although with different twists to the plot.  So, I couldn't tell you which of the movies is the one you remember.  (It could possibly be the classic film, "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex", starring Bette Davis as Elizabeth, and Errol Flynn as the officer she loves.)

Maybe you could go to Google and check on movies about Henry VIII or Elizabeth I .
Hope this helps a little.
