Trivia[]

  • Not much is known about Anna before 1527, apart from her year of birth.
  • Henry met Anna privately in disguise on New Year's Day 1540 at Rochester Abbey in Rochester, as this was a courtly-love tradition. It is possible that Anna was unaware that the man in disguise was Henry, as she "regarded him little".
    • Some believe that this instance was why Henry referred to Anna as "ugly", since he was deeply offended by her failure to reciprocate the loving gesture.
  • Anna was friends with Katherine Howard, and it is possible that Katherine served as Anna's maid of honour.
  • After Anna's divorce from Henry, one of the residences given to her was that of the Boleyn's, Hever Castle.
    • Due to the generous divorce settlements that Anna received from Henry, she is often called "the King's Beloved Sister".
  • After Katherine Howard's beheading, Henry was pressured by Anna and her brother William to remarry her; however, Henry refused.
  • Anna stated "Madam Parr is taking a great burden on herself" upon finding out about her marriage to Henry.
  • Anna was the last of Henry's wives to die; she died ten years after Henry and nine years after Catherine Parr, his sixth and final wife. She even outlived Henry's son, Edward VI by four years.
  • The portrait that Hans Holbein painted of Anna now hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. A miniature version can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England.
  • For swings and alternates that have two first covers, the role of Anna of Cleves is most often paired with that of Catherine of Aragon.
    • For swings and alternates that have three first covers, the role is most often paired with that of Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Parr.
  • In the musical, Anna's 'queenspirations' were Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.
  • In an Instagram story, Toby Marlow stated that if Six were to be made into a movie, he would like either Lizzo or Cardi B to play Anna.[1]
