Anne Boleyn was smart, sophisticated and had SO much charisma.
She kept Henry VIII waiting for SEVEN YEARS before they finally got together, and even then it was on her terms.
So where did it all go wrong for Anne Boleyn? Were any of the wild accusations made against her true? And what do her last words tell us about her?
Joining Kate today is the magnificent Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History, to help us uncover the real Anne Boleyn.
