Anne of Cleves' Disastrous First Meeting with Henry | The Tudors (Part 6): The Last Three Wives of Henry VIII (with Anna Morris) | The Tudors: A Real Game of Thrones
⛵ Anne came to England from the small German Duchy of Cleves in December 1539 after Henry VIII had chosen her from a portrait painted of her.
😧 She had no idea about English customs or traditions and didn't even speak the language.
😱 Henry and Anne's first meeting was nothing short of a disaster - Henry greeted her in disguise and Anne rejected him, thinking he was some rowdy commoner.
🏴 In England at the time, it was believed that your true love would recognise you, even in disguise.
