Re: PBS The Boleyns - A Scandalous Family

I've seen some of the PBS specials through the years and also a Hollywood movie called The Other Boleyn Girl. Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman play Anne and Mary. It wasn't very good.

  Gret obserbvation  of both being descendants  of Mary Boleyn.  " Through her mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Queen Elizabeth II is a direct descendant of Mary Boleyn through her daughter Katherine Carey " 

 

 

Lady Diana Spencer who married Prince Charles  (who is now the King ) was a direct descendant of Mary Boleyn through her mariage to William Cary - their daughter Katherine Cary . Actually , both Lady Di's parent are descendants of Mary Boleyn.

Good thing Mary Boleyn had a lot of descendants, since Anne had only Elizabeth I, who had no children so her lineage stopped there.
