Who is Catherine’s lover?
The Great is said to be based on historical facts, but the series puts a comedic spin on Russia’s past events.
Due to his wife’s misery, Peter has to find his wife a lover during the 10-part series. Peter is told: “Your bride is unhappy, you must clear the clouds.”
He therefore finds Catherine a lover in Leo Voronski. It’s worth noting that Leo wasn’t a real person, but Catherine is said to have had lovers during her marriage.
Leo Voronski is played by English actor Sebastian de Souza. Sebastian, 27, has appeared in TV series such as Medici, Normal People, Skins and The Borgias.
