Elizabeth of York dancing with Prince Arthur in the last episode of The White Princess.
In fact, there’s an actual account according to which similar scene occurred at the English court in 1472, but it was little Elizabeth of York who danced with her father, Edward IV:
Gruthuyse was invited to England in September 1472, created Earl of Winchester, and lavishly entertained by the Yorkist court. Edward and Elizabeth greeted him personally on his arrival at Windsor Castle, Bluemantle Pursuivant recording that:
when he had spoken wt the Kinges good grace and the quene, he was accompanied to his chamber by me lorde Chamberlein (Hastings), Sir John A Parre, wt dyuers moo … . When they had sopte, my lord chamberleyn had hym againe to ye Kinges chamber, and incontinent the Kinge had hym to ye quenes chamber, wher she sat plainge wt her ladyes at the morteaulx (a game resembling bowls), and some of her ladyes and gentlewomen at the closheys (closh, or ninepins) and daunsing. And some at dyuers other games accordinge. The whiche sight was full plesant to them. Also ye Kinge daunsed wt my lady Elizabethe, his eldest doughter.
