Ena. Queen Victoria Eugenia

Victoria Eugenia of Battenberg never expected to be queen. Granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, she was a relatively minor royal when Alfonso XIII of Spain chose her as his bride, drawn by her beauty after other prospects had fallen away. She converted to Catholicism, left everything she knew, and arrived in Madrid to begin a life that would test her at every turn.

On her wedding day, an assassin threw a bomb at the royal carriage. She survived. What followed was harder to endure. Alfonso's serial infidelities, the discovery that she had passed hemophilia to her eldest son, the disapproval of a formidable mother-in-law, and the growing distance of a court that never truly accepted her. Through it all, she remained queen, conducting herself with a discipline and discretion that earned respect even where it could not win affection.

Her legacy extended beyond the palace. She rebuilt Spain's Red Cross, establishing hospitals and emergency services that transformed public health across the country.

Adapted from Pilar Eyre's novel and filmed in Spain's royal palaces, ENA traces a life that spanned two world wars, a civil war, and eventual exile. A portrait of one woman's endurance across a century of upheaval.
