 This PBS series was not really a movie but had actual facts and actors to damatize how  various members of the Boleyn family rose to get in favor with the King

Re: Boleyn connection to Elizabeth I and to William and Harry

The British Monarchy going back to the beginning has kept marriages to relatives as a way of keeping the riches in the family.  Various other monarchs prearranged marriages for their children so as to keep the dynasties going.

 

I enjoy programs on PBS by Lucy Worsley.  She often goes behind the walls of palaces and gives insight on the lives of the monarchs and their spouses.

I thought it was an interesting combination of narration and acting.  Have to finish Episode 3 tonight.
