Archbishop Cranmer declares Henry and Anne’s marriage valid

Hello all!

I was just thinking about Anne (as I do a lot…) and was trying to imagine what she would have been feeling on this day in 1533 because not only had Cranmer declared her marriage valid but also the next day would mark the commencement of the coronation ceremonies and Henry and Anne’s first public ceremony as a royal couple.

I think that she must have felt untouchable- pregnant with the heir to the throne of England, doted on by her husband the King and soon to be an anointed Queen.
I wonder if she would also have felt any fear or regret for her current position- a yearning for past flames or a more simple life…More to come soon!
