Such a beautiful coronation. At least poor Anne was happy for a brief time.

What a lovely portrait you have painted of that day! The fact that Henry VIII wanted the day to be Anne's alone was touching. Thank you for all your videos. The best part of my day is when a new one posts!

Can you imagine clothing threaded with silver and gold, all the jewels, gold everywhere? Proof money cannot buy happiness. Thank you for helping us imagine this grand occasion, Claire!

Just to go back in time...unnoticed...and watch everything unfold...like in "A Christmas Carol." There...but no one sees you. My imagination runs wild!

The descriptions of the wardrobe of Anne and the attendees was wonderful! It must have taken an army of spinners, weavers and seamstresses to accomplish it all!

I can’t get enough of the daily videos!! Anne, being pregnant, must have been very tired after the long day yesterday and all of the ceremony today. She must have been an amazing woman to handle the long ceremonies with such grace. I would have loved to have been there and seen it all. I love your hair and your shirt!

Anne must have loved the fact that the Duke of Suffolk, Charles Brandon, who was Henry's best friend and one of Anne's mortal enemies, was made High Steward of the Day. It is amazing to me that Anne remained gracious at the very end of those VERY long and exhausting days, all while pregnant! Thank you for all your wonderful videos and website, Claire! You do an amazing job!!!

Such a beautiful coronation...Henry was definitely making a statement. Less than 3 years later he makes another statement when he has her head cut off....

Excellent video! One day, I hope to join you at Hever ❤️ Anne’s coronation description boggles my mind!! What an amazing spectacle it must have been!! Can’t help but wonder how poor Catherine, and also princess Mary, felt hearing about it all...also, did Anne think of them? Nonetheless, what an event!! 👑

Thank you for that wonderful and detailed description of the coronation of Queen Anne. I agree that it would be wonderful to have been a fly on the wall during that great occasion. I also wonder about the incredible stamina is must have take Queen Anne to with stand not only the long day of coronation events, but the day long procession the day before. Of course it is all tinged with us knowing now, what she didn't know then - that less than three years later she would suffer a traitors death. I would hope that all that good will and excitement for the future would somehow be transmitted to the future Queen Elizabeth in utero, so that she could somehow feel the love and devotion of the people she would someday rule.

So glad you are so knowledgeable about the Tudor period. You are easy to listen to and learn from. Your narrative brings the time of Anne Boleyn's coronation alive. Anne must've been very tired from the previous day; now she's walking all the way bare foot. All those people walking before her - the carpet may not have been too clean by the time she walked on it. Lying down! On her belly! Really? Such stamina! Thank You for this lesson, Claire.

Thank you for another great video, as always. I am seriously enjoying this series and any daily videos!

Thank you Claire loving your videos. Anne's Coronation must have been a wonderful sight and the Coronation banquet. 👑🌹👑

Henry being behind the screen and the unusual usage of the crown were both really interesting details. I would have so wanted him to be able to be there though. It’s such a big day, and to have to not share that with my guy would be kind of sad. The prostration, man, I can’t imagine either! On that stone! Owwww! Elizabeth said she had the heart of a lion, but by rights she could have had a heart of stone being all smushed up against it while her mother was pregnant! Poor Anne and poor Elizabeth! I love all the details about the clothes, the grandeur. EIGHTY course! We think eight is a bit much! I can’t imagine how she didn’t throw up. I know you could wave the dishes away and stuff, but still! And the horseback detail was so cool! What a sight! As you said in The Fall of Anne Boleyn, their deaths were so unjust and cruel, but at least in the time they did have, they really lived. I’m happy Anne did have some victorious days in there, and it wasn’t all sorrow by any means.

🇭🇲🦘 (viewed again on 26/5/2021) .. What an amazing day for Queen Anne Boleyn. Finally crowned Queen, followed by a magnificent banquet. .. I would have loved to have been 'a fly on the wall' (as the saying goes) to witness such a marvellous event. Although exhausting, a happy end to a happy day for the pregnant Anne. .. "Thank you" Claire 👑👍

All of that adulation and virtually none of those spouting accolades spoke out to support her three years later..

She will always be loved and remembered. TY for bringing this moment in history to life, Claire.

the fact that 3 short years later , anne was actually dead on her coronation date , is sobering indeed . how sad . you know I find myself wishing , that she would have started having children , years earlier, instead of holding out . because when she started having children , she was getting along in age . I think her chances would have been better to have successful births , if she was younger . I think henry , would have still married her . her coronation , must have been the coronation of the century..........thank you , for the share....

80 dishes, oh my I feel sick just with the image of it! Has there been before such a HUGE ceremony? how was Katherine of Aragon's coronation compared to this one? I love the way you talk about it, I can really visualise the day thanks to you. Poor Pregnant Anne, how exhausting. Even if not pregnant, it would have been exhausting.

Fascinating--thank you, Claire.

So when was the first time that Henry and Ann was see in public as King and queen? Was she really queen for 1,000 days?

Thanks Claire for such a detailed description of Anne's coronation. At least she had some happiness before being so wrongly accused. I often wonder how Henry is spending eternity after all the terrible things he did. Sending love & peace from Wisconsin. 🙋💕✌🌹👸👑🏰🎪🎭

My favourite too Clair, she was such a courageous lady

Thank you.

What a long day, especially when pregnant! I cannot imagine how she managed to stay upright throughout all that pageantry and ceremony. What a sight all of that must have been!

Do we know how many months pregnant she was? I can only imagine wearing all said clothes, jewels, etc was beyond tiresome, but she did so with grace. Also the weather of the least little heat, it was so horrid....clarie, I wonder at the end of it all before she died, did she state of she regretted it??? Again another fab tudorific video, thank you so much for your labor of love🇬🇧🥰🇬🇧🥰🇬🇧🥰

I'm of a more practical nature. I wonder how she could go so long without voiding. Or did attendants carry pots to slip under her clothing that could be used standing up? Being pregnant I always had to go every 2 hours.😁😉

Anne is my favourite too. Such a great description and video. Thank you

Oh Henry behind the screen reminds me of Elizabeth Woodvilles coronation with Edward IV behind the screen in the white queen

Every time I hear that Anne Boleyn’s coronation procession was a failure of misery as fact from other people I’ll just keep replaying this video etc and count to ten

Did her ladies really put Anne on her stomach as portrayed in Anne's coronation on Wolf Hall? Looked a bit uncomfortable since she was already pregnant at the time! Thank you for helping us to imagine what that day must have been like for Anne.

Wow, to be a fly on the wall at that banquet...

Another fascinating video! One wee question: Did Mary Tudor, the sister of Henry VIII & wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, attend Anne's coronation? I know from a multitude of sources that Mary did not like Anne, siding with Katherine of Aragon. Did Mary manage to avoid Anne's coronation?

One can’t help but wonder how much of this ostentation was meant to be a slap in the face to poor Catherine

I think Thomas Cranmer could have done more to save Anne...but he was Henry's yes man and make it happen man!!!

What was the public reaction to Anne? I've heard they weren't all that enthusiastic, especially those who still thought Catherine was the rightful queen

I just cannot image.... There were days I was 'done' by 10 am when I was 6 months pregnant! After the previous day & now this. How I would like to have known the real woman. So strong in many ways.

Is their any pictures of Queen Anne's crown? I've been told that the Crown Jewlery and other items orb and scepter have been redesigned over the centuries.

It's a marathon! Then he killed her. 💔

Which of kings Henry's wife's to you think we're the love of his life. I have loved his story since I was a girl in the 70s and me and my grandma watched a PBS mini series.

Thomas Cranmer must have hated celebrating the mass....a ceremony which he eventually came to loathe.

First ❤️
