Question is there any family connection between henry 8th wives and princess Diana Spencer?
thanks
Answer Hello Tracey.
The short answer is yes. I've read of a connection to Anne Boleyn, but I've not been able to follow it myself. But I have traced a link with Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's third wife, she was Diana's great x 13 aunt.
Coming from an old English noble family Diana was almost certainly related to all four of Henry's English wives, most noble families interconnect at some point.
If you'd like me to give you the full connection please send a follow-up question requesting it. However it's very long so I'll only be able to do it at the weekend when I've got more time, if you can wait until then.
Mark
