Adelaide Kane 'Reign's at CW Upfronts 2013

Long Live The Queen!

Adelaide Kane dons two different looks for the 2013 CW Upfront Presentation held at The London Hotel in New York City on Thursday morning (May 16).

The 22-year-old actress took the stage as Mary, Queen of Scots at the presentation.

Reign, which will air after The Vampire Diaries on Thursdays this fall, follows Mary, Queen of Scots (Kane) who has been the Queen since she was six days old. The teenage Mary is already a headstrong monarchm beautiful, passionate, and poised at the very beginning of her tumultuous rise to power. Arriving in France with four close friends as her ladies-in-waiting, Mary has been sent to secure Scotland’s strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged engagement to the French king’s dashing son, Prince Francis (Toby Regbo).

But the match isn’t signed and sealed, it depends more on politics, religion and secret agendas than affairs of the heart. While at French Court, fierce foes and dark forces conspire to sabotage Mary’s marriage to Francis and even threaten her life, until a mysterious shrouded guide becomes her ally. With danger and sexual intrigue around every dark castle corner, Mary rallies her ladies-in-waiting and steels herself, ready to rule the new land and balance the demands of her country and her heart.
