Amalia told me she had overheard one of the ambassadors say Henry VIII was looking for a new wife, I do hope he finally chooses the one he has been wanting, poor Jane, she was so kind, I met her on one occasion she was so welcoming, I wish Jane were here. Anne Boleyn had come to an end, at least he shared one last act of kindness to her by giving her a quick death, apparently he sent for the finest executioner from Calais, Mama always used to say to me and Amalia "Geben Freundlichkeit und wir werden es im Gegenzug zurück" which means, give kindness and you will get it in return. I do miss her wisdom, her generosity. Amalia and I are always kept away from men, as some person, of who I do not know one's name, has made an agreement that I shall marry an Prince from Bulgaria, I for one have never seen this man, even know his name.
I have been told he likes me! He likes me! I have been told Holbein showed his miniature portrait of me to Henry and he likes me!I am excited for my future, but who knows how it might end. Maybe under an axe.
