The auction details can be found on the provided link, and prospective buyers are advised to exercise caution and conduct due diligence before bidding on auction properties.
While the auction details do not mention any connection between the property and Anne Boleyn or Henry VIII, it's worth noting that agents selling property in this spot have made the claim that Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII met in secret at Flat 6, Queen Anne's Court. However, historical evidence supporting this claim is lacking.
Historical records associate Henry VIII's courtship of Anne Boleyn with places like Hever Castle, Anne's family home, and Windsor Castle more generally, but no specific evidence ties a particular flat or address in Queen Anne's Court Windsor as a secret meeting place.

Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's third wife, was a figure of the past millennium that many people know and care about, with Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth I being the only exceptions. Often pictured as a serious player, bright and clever, who used her wiles and proved a match for her husband, her marriage to Henry VIII led to the Reformation in England. However, her reputation as a serious player may be influenced by Elizabethan propaganda.
As we approach the auction date, let's remember to separate historical fact from speculation and make informed decisions based on available data. Happy bidding!
