I like Elizabeth more and more. She often counseled Mary on what to do. And Mary didn’t or wouldn’t listen to her. She should have!

Thank you Andrea Clarke. This is so fascinating (being still steeped in volume 3 of Hilary Mantel's masterpiece and so keen to learn more - post Henry VIII!) and so looking forward to the upcoming exhibition.

Oh I do love these royal letters! It reminds me that I really should be getting back into reading the Victoria letters I have sitting on my shelf. I would love more of these letters presented like this if you don't mind, BL!
