The Secrets Of Hever Castle: Home Of Anne Boleyn 

Allington Castle, Bodiam Castle and Penshurst Place please 😁

More Scottish stuff

Bamburgh Castle

@@DarthDainese Ooh yes, home of Eutred The Bold.

Fort Paul

Genius design.

So hiring some lefty swordsmen would be good strategy.

@@suziewhattley3917 That's what I always thought!

@@user-fy9el2zu5g They weren't stupid by any means. One thing I've learned from studying history all my life is don't underestimate the sophistication of the old-timers, they'll surprise you all the time!

@@suziewhattley3917 how’d you know about the castle’s interior tho beforehand?

what a blessed childhood!

@@LaurelMcBrine so you would know Elizabeth Taylor wasn't in that movie.

What a beautiful childhood memory . I bet you had many amazing imaginative adventures here 😊

@@PigeonsPie1 According to film history, Ms. Taylor had a non-speaking role at one of Henry's masques. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WxA4QFAwfS0.html

I thought the exact same thing. A genuine enthusiastic approach rather than that of a dour lecture.

Yes, very jolly hockey sticks. Lovely posh accent.

Not a fan of hers if I'm completely honest but each to their own 👌

Can't stand her she is shockingly bad at her job.

thanks to Astor who sunk a fortune into the refurbish the castle as well.

Are you sure I thought the Windrush built England 😄

Different Viscount Astor.

It's a beautiful structure. Oh yes, another small error: Books of Hours and the little book of hours or Little Office of the Virgin Mary are not the same thing. Pity the books of devotions she owned did nothing for Anne's piety though. Her ambition destroyed her life, killled her brother and ruined her family.

@@sandie157 Anne was pushed by her father. Is he not culpable, too?

I caught that too. The thing is that it immediately cuts to her saying, "You can picture Astor entertaining his friends...." so it it implies that QEII was one of his guests, which couldn't have been true. I am not arguing that she wasn't there but they really should have made that clear.

@@hamburgerhelperflick QE11 was probably a friend of John Jacob Astor, he was created 1st Baron Astor of Hever in 1956.

I couldn't agree more!😊❤🇧🇷

She was a pain , worse person to do this , incompetent person.

Do you have a source?

@@tsarina24honolulu87 RU-vid Claire Ridgeway The Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society.

Yes you're correct

You really should pop over and visit. We have history all over the place. When I lived near the border of Wales I counted over 20 big castles like this one within 100 miles.

@@shorey66 Maybe one of these days. I was in Britain once before, in 1976. I was part of a NATO operation and our ship berthed in Portsmouth. I visited HMS Victory and that was a thrill!

Thankyou for sharing.

All castles are haunted.

That's exactly what it is!

Hello 👋how are you doing?

Especially her Daughter.

She wasn't actually playing what we were hearing. I play piano and I can tell you those notes do not match up with him the keys she was pressing. Plus, when she starts playing with her right hand the timing is off.

preserved? its an Edwardian folly at this point. Its beautifully done but I wouldn't call it preserved.

However, Liz was in the movie. She was the masked woman who burst into the room.

They have done Blenheim (or it may be on a related channel) I'll see if I can find it (it certainly is a magnificent sight!) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xl0ZZqwuQPM.html

You have the coral castle. its not the fact its a castle or its age its how it was constructed and how its connections to ancient sites is significant Please dont be under the illusion that your nations history isnt very old. I can assure you there is thousands of years of history all over your amazing country. And in my opinion holds extremely significant importance to a obvious ancient civilisation of human beings. You have an ancient monument in Ohio the serpent mound which is as signifcant as stone henge which is thought to be 5000 years old but very possibly twice as old maybe possibly older than or as old as 12 thousand years and clearly indicates the same reasons behind its construction by an ancient civilisation with the same beliefs as the builders of stonhenge and a clear indication of the presence of intelligent humans in an established and advanced civilisation which is going to change the world one day. We are taught in sciences at british university this qoute. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, then you are brainwashed to accept an established narrative that is designed to stop you thinking because trust me if you start looking the dots will begin to join up and its actually more and more obvious the more you look and you`ll begin to feel powerful as you realise how we are all connected and how nationalism is irelevent and once again a tool to keep us divided because the truth makes you undeatable and so powerful and it will eventually join us all together. The evil bloodlines in control are terrified of us and seek to keep us terrified and in the dark, well nows your chance to begin your journey towards the truth I really hope you take a look it does seem you have the right curiosity just never fear to formulate your own theories. Sorry if you think this is a conspiracy nutters rant thats fine and your opinion is your right but I try to do 1 good thing for 1 person everyday, I hope this is it. Even if it only made you laugh, I`ll take that. A smile means you were entertained and even for a breif moment you felt good because you smiled, so mission accomplished I did a good thing but Im more able to assume either way that you will be sufficiently aroused to start and if your already awakening then sorry to assume you were not already aware and it atleast shows you know their are millions more like me in the UK and across the world. Be safe, share your love and keep your mind free.

Hi Richard, I'm in Clermont. I hear you about Disney castle.

Many castles in US but lack history like England and Britain. I’m in Tampa. Flat, hot, humid and miserable 8 months a year. Bok Tower is ok to,see….once.

Thank you so much!

I do agree wholeheartedly with you, Tina. Alice is a wonderful presenter!

I caught that too! - Also what someone else mentioned....QE2 could not have been a guest of W. Astor...... he died before she was born.

Elizabeth Taylor was in Anne if a Thousand Days. She was the masked woman who burst into the room.

What years in military in uk

What years in military in uk

I was there in 85 through 91 at RAF Fairford (Gloustershire) and RAF Upper Heyford. (Oxfordshire) Drove my Mini Estate all over. I’m doing a research project on the Knights Templar. I didn’t know about all the related sites for that at the time. I walked right past Temple Church and didn’t even know it. And other stuff. Drove past Rosslyn Chapel too. Kicking myself. 😡 🤦🏼 Sorry bout some spellings.

@@timcook7730 86 I lived in London, have you visited London lately

@@timcook7730 did u know Jack Morris

I always admired Mary Carey , I wish that they would give her the attention that she deserves

Such as the short glimpse at the names on the windows.

Maybe Elizabeth Taylor visited when Richard Burton played Henry VIII in the film.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I think she wasn't really playing because right hand didn't seem to match the music...although, the music sound could have been off.

@@janepoindexter4470 She is playing the piano for real. They clearly only had one camera and recorded two takes of her playing one after the other, first a closeup, then a wider shot. But they used the audio track from the first closeup take for both clips to avoid an obvious jump/cut in the music. Therefore the wider shot with the right hand playing doesn't match the music because the audio comes from the earlier closeup shot 😉

One of Mary's descendents?

My husband was raised in Edenbridge, ( me in Surrey) we lived there a year or two after marriage, then moved to Canada. We love Hever and Chiddingstone .

He died on the titanic

@missf4681 Thank you for informing me of this I did not know, how sad. But he left a great legacy of his achievement to his family & ancesters of which they must be so proud of. 🙂

​@@Ally-StaffyLover No that's a different Astor. It was John Jacob Astor IV who died on the Titanic in 1912. It was William Waldorf Astor who restored Hever. He died in 1919

​@@missf4681 No, different Astor. It was John Jacob Astor IV who perished on the Titanic not William Waldorf Astor

Yes Anne Boleyn/Bullen was probably born at Blickling Hall but was raised at Hever Castle. Hever was one of Anne's happy places.

That nickname was a myth. Henry never called her a Flanders Mare

I noticed that too. Had a little chuckle over it.

It was Downton Abbey theme
