Indeed. The irony was, that as a woman - and the youngest female child too - she was the LAST child of a king in those times, who was expected to be the strongest ruler. Yet she nailed it - far surpassing both Edward and Mary. Henry VIII was more intelligent, than is common knowledge. But his prejudices blinded him to the talents/potential of his youngest daughter. Pity.

Vincent Cassel was a proper arse in this movie. Although Anjou was a pastiche of two different characters in the film: Henri, Duc d'Orléans (Duc d'Anjou as well) and his younger brother, François, later Duc d'Anjou. Both were potential matches for Elizabeth, but only François actually journeyed to England. Both of them were a generation younger than Elizabeth, as well.

No matter what headcanons you are making, the history books say something else. Elizabeth Tudor did not have any children, hence the title "Virgin Queen". She refused to marry anyone. Robert Dudley here was sort of her "favourite", but Robert was married to Amy. Robert and Elizabeth started to grow distant when Amy died in mysterious circumstances which started a rumor mill. Before her death Elizabeth appointed the throne of England to James I, the son of her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots. Elizabeth had executed Mary for treason and James had abandoned his mother as well. The royals were related in England and Scotland, but United Kingdom wasn't a thing back then yet and the politics were less than friendly. James was considered the first King of England and Scotland united.

[@JudyFurmston]

Elizabeth never married or had children.
