This scene came somewhere during season five.

She did full frontal nudity as part of a kinky two-girl scene on GoT
She is now better known as “The Spanish Princess,” the wildly inaccurate story of Catherine of Aragon, based on a novel called The Constant Princess, and she did some modest nudity in that series.
Episode 2 (very brief)
The Spanish Princess is yet another toney historical epic based on the historical romances of Philippa Gregory, upon whose works were based three other such episodic period tales, The Other Boleyn Girl, The White Queen and The White Princess. The previous series made some effort to follow the historical details, but this one is totally off the rails. When the real Prince Arthur met his betrothed, Catherine of Aragon, he was 15 and his younger brother, the future Henry VIII, was 10. Yet the 10-year-old Henry is played here by a middle aged man. Moreover, the non-10-year-old is said to be the precocious author of the passionate Latin letters exchanged between Arthur and Catherine.
Oh, I’m kidding. The guy is not really middle aged, but he is about 20 and more than six feet tall, and is obviously not a little boy. The real Henry was not even that old when he took the throne – and that happened almost eight years after the incidents depicted here! Those were some very odd choices in plotting and casting.
I have’t read the novel, so I don’t know whether the printed story was also that fanciful or if the re-written history was devised exclusively for the TV presentation.
My impression has been – I’ve read all those suckers – that the farther Gregory gets in time the less accurate the history. Elizabeth of York ( the WP) hooking up with Uncle Richard (III) seems pretty far fetched. The earlier books concerned with the likes of York, Margaret of Anjou. Warwick, and Edward IV seemed reasonably accurate (except for the magic crap). Later not so much.
Same thing with the TV series’.
It’s an interesting period. In 1415 Henry V and his Burgundian allies are having things totally their way; the “King of Bourges” is trying to hold on to what little is left of France. In 1485, the English have been totally (exc. Calais) booted out of the France and are ruled by a King whose only claim to rule cane from being a descendant of John of Gaunt’s illegitimate Beaufort line (which had been disbarred from the succession by Parliament), the Burgundian Dukes are extinct, and a strange little man who liked to ride around on a donkey is the greatest King of France in 200 plus years. Commynes is a great source for this period.
But then I’m still bent out of shape that Freya Mavor didn’t do the WP series after playing Elizabeth of York in the WQ.
