It was very poignant to see the red roses laid on Anne Boleyn’s memorial in the Tower chapel this morning. They have been delivered on the anniversary of her execution every year since the 1840s and to this day nobody knows who sends them

STOP PRESS!! The mystery of the Princes in the Tower has been solved by my 8 year old, who revealed this morning: 'Richard III didn't kill his nephews. He probably just grounded them and forgot to let them out.' So there you have it

I can’t tell you what a complete honour and joy it is that you created this for me. To see myself as a Tudor is just incredible and such an inspiration. I’ll never be able to thank you enough. Master Holbein himself would have been proud 🙏🤩
