Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful' hangs in the air, a wistful echo beneath the vaulted ceilings of the English court. Amidst the splendor, a four-year-old girl sits with a serene and knowing stillness that contradicts her age, a quiet island in the storm of her family's ruin. Her mother, Queen Katherine, was cast out for adultery, leaving her to be raised by her grieving father, King Henry V. Her twin brothers, Lawrence and Sebastian, stand like solemn sentinels beside her, one fated for the throne, the other for the battlefield, while she remains the cherished, prank-loving youngest—forever severed from the mother whose screams followed her from the prison cell where she was born.
