From watching the PBS  series abt the Boleyn family , I also learned that Lady Diana Spencer 's  13h Grt GrandMother was Mary Boleyn whose 1st  husband was William Cary . Some day , it is likely  King  Charles III  and Diana's 's son  William will be King .

I thought it was interesting fact .

Was Mary Boleyn the older sister to Anne Boleyn?

Poor Ann Boleyn.  I think there was a time that the RF had to marry into royalty and that is what made them all a little bit off the beam, intermarrying relatives and that could be what is wrong with Charles.  I think the boys were wise to marry out of the kinfolk line.  Diana was also in the finfolk line which is the reason they wanted Chas to marry her and not Camilla.

Interesting.  I always enjoy watching historical series and this series is well done. 

I think William will make a wonderful King when the time comes and Kate a splendid Queen consort.

I am an email friend of a descendant of Anne Boleyn.  My friend and I have a mutual love of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and that is our connection. 

She lives in England, and yes, her last name is Boleyn.

"Anne of the Thousand Days" was the best movie about Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Genevieve Bujold's portrayal of Anne was spectacular. It's one of my favorite movies. As for "The Other Boleyn Girl", all I can say is that the book was much better.
