ANNE BOLEYN + ELIZABETH
Anne took great care planning her baby daughter’s wardrobe,
personally selecting cloth and trimming. Had Anne and Elizabeth been
allowed more time together, these two kindred spirits would have
undoubtedly enjoyed a close bond.
Before Queen Anne was imprisoned in the Tower, she made provisions for her daughter’s welfare. Elizabeth probably found out what
had really happened to her mother over time, having only initially been
told a simplified version as a child, and then some placating
half-truths as she questioned the story as she grew.
