Henry the Ighth - Is She a Ravishing Beauty?

Nataly: There's this idea that she had to have been a ravishing beauty for henry to have discarded his wife. She was quite different looking, kind of olive skinned, fairly dark hair. We're not sure exactly what shade, but fairly dark, probably dark eyes as well. Quite thin, probably. But you know, whenever you present a portrait, of course, some portraits are acceptable,. the heve rose portrait, that's a lovely portrait. The national portrait gallery portrait is not as appealing. And people get quite cranky if you want to tell them that that is the only contemporary likeness of anca. They are expecting quite a lovely representation.
