 BBC - Press Office - The Virgin Queen Sienna Guillory
"I think the Queen's jealousy of Lettice's looks and her subsequent bullying was what drove Lettice to feel justified in her relationship with Dudley," Sienna muses.

Lettice is the one who goads him into winning the Queen's heart and purse back and ultimately to overly ambitious actions which prove his undoing — and hers."
