Maybe Queen Anne, got some of her royal knights to do the deed. She did want her husband and son to be king an heir, and she feared as long as the kings nephews were live, they were a threat. Ever, think of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758308854209130362.post-29525132092665714212014-07-01T22:58:23.411+01:002014-07-01T22:58:23.411+01:00I just made a reply to one of your previous commen...I just made a reply to one of your previous comments about the Queen not allowing the bones to be re-examined, Perhaps a later sovereign (William, maybe?) will give consent!

The Queen's grandfather allowed the bones to be examined in the 1930s, and I don't really know why she has refused to allow another examination.

Or would Richard's defeat by Henry negate any claim an heir to the princes might have? Interesting. Great post, Paula. :-)<br />Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758308854209130362.post-5795920178415370822013-04-27T19:56:44.996+01:002013-04-27T19:56:44.996+01:00Intriguing post about the princes and all the myst...Intriguing post about the princes and all the mystery surrounding their deaths.
