ANNE BOLEYN and ELIZABETH I and HENRY VIII THE TUDORS (TV Series 2007—2010)

Edward and Elizabeth observed the festivities separately, much to Edward’s dismay. Writing to his sister from the manor of Tittenhanger near St Albans on 18 December [1546], he lamented, 'Change of place, in fact, did not vex me so much, dearest sister, as your going from me. Nothing can happen more agreeable to me than a letter from you […] I hope to visit you shortly […] as my chamberlain has reported to me. Farewell, dearest sister!’

Many of Elizabeth’s earliest thoughts were of the brother she adored, who had ‘four teeth, three full out and the fourth appearing’ by the summer of 1538.  She liked giving Edward gifts, such as a ‘shirt of cambric of her own working’, which she presented to him at New Year 1539 – an extremely personal gift that not only showcased Elizabeth’s skill with a needle but also displayed her thoughtfulness.

Anne and Elizabeth

"Your most loving, most faithful servant. Robbie."

❝Queen Anne was becoming increasingly uneasy in the hostile atmosphere surrounding her. So much so that on or around 26 April she approached her chaplain, Matthew Parker. Anne trusted Parker implicitly and implored him to do something for her: if anything should happen to her, she charged him with keeping a watchful eye on her child.  Elizabeth, Anne’s chief jewel and the daughter whom she adored, was her foremost priority. Though Anne did not confide her fears, the conversation made a deep impression on Parker, who would remember in Elizabeth’s reign ‘the last words that ever her Majesty’s mother spake to me concerning her’.  Parker clearly felt honour-bound by whatever Anne had said to him, for he later referred to it on several occasions. In 1559, soon after Elizabeth’s accession, he confided to Sir Nicholas Bacon that ‘though my heart would right fain serve my sovereign lady the Queen’s majesty, in more respects than of mine allegiance, not forgetting what words her grace’s mother said to me of her, not six days before her apprehension’.  Likewise, in 1572 he told William Cecil that ‘if I had not been so much bound to the mother, I would not so soon have granted to serve the daughter’.  Though Parker never divulged more on paper, it is tantalizing to consider whether he ever confided to Elizabeth the details of this final conversation with Anne. Perhaps she knew more about her mother’s fall than she would ever reveal.
