I Think He Was Regarded as a Surragate to His Daughter

There's a lot of rumors circulating about their relationship, you're right. And i also don't want to go into it. So he had influence at court, this man. He looked at elizabeth kind of as a surragate, in some ways, to his daughter. I think that's where we can safely say it was o i agree. She was the right age, she was the right family. In need of a position that would give her exposure to the kind of men she needed to fulfil her career and become a wife.
