How is the current Queen of England related to Anne Bolyen?

Question

I Just recently watched the movie "The Other Boylen Girl" and I have no idea how Anne is related to the current queen. All I know is that she had a baby girl, and she didnt live in Buckingham Palace, considering it didnt excist. Help me out!

Answer 1

Short answer:  She's not.  

The current queen is a member of the House of Windsor, formerly the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.  Anne Boleyn's direct royal line ended when Elizabeth I died childless.  The succession of the various royal houses did continue through the Stuarts and the Hanoverians through various relatives, but none of them would be related by blood to Anne Boleyn unless they were also related to the Howard family.  The Howards weren't royalty, but they are still Dukes of Norfolk.

Answer 2

Anne Bolyen has no descendents. She only had one daughter who never married or had a child.

- If you count back generations from the current queen (parents=1, grandparents=2) to generation 15 you get the sister of Henry VIII. Her name was Margaret Tudor and she was married to the King of Scotland.

Answer 4

I don't think the Queen is related to Anne Boleyn at all.  Anne Bolyen's daughter grew up to be Queen Elizabeth I, but she never married and had no descendents.

Our present Queen is a direct descendent of King Henry VIII's sister Margaret, who married King James IV of Scotland.  When Elizabeth I was dying, she names King James VI of Scotland as her successor, he was her nearest blood relative and the obvious choice to succeed.  

Answer 5

The Queen is distantly related to the Tudors,not the Boleyns.The Tudor relationship is very distant;Elizabeth II is not  even a direct descendant of the Tudors.The distant connection is through Henry VII of the Royal House of Tudor.

Henry VII ,grandfather,of Elizabeth I, was from a junior branch of the family. His wife, Elizabeth of York, is from the senior branch, and the line passes through her and then through their daughter, Margaret Tudor to the present Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty,Queen Elizabeth II, is 38th in direct line of descent from Egbert (c. 775-839), King of Wessex(the Anglo-Saxons) from 802 and of England 827 to 839.

Diana,Princess of Wales was reltaed to the Boleyn family.

Answer 6

The current queen of England is Elizabeth number 2.

Anne Boleyn daughter is Elizabeth the 1st. about a 500 year difference.  

Answer 7

Shes not

Answer 8

She is not.  Queen Elizabeth II's ancestry is the Windsors, which do not link back to Henry VIII.  His direct line ended with the reign of the first Elizabeth, as she had no children.

Answer 9

Elizabeth II is related to Anne Boleyn through the children of her sister, Mary because Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, descents from Catherine Carey, the daughter of Mary Boleyn, and then through her daughter, Lettice Knolly, the Countess of Essex and Leicester, who married Elizabeth I's favorite, Robert Dudley.  Since a very high degree of probability exists that Mary Boleyn's children, Catherine and Henry Carey, were the illegitimate children of Henry VIII, the current Queen of England can presumably claim descent from Henry VIII both through her father's line (via Margaret Tudor who married James IV of Scotland) and through her mother's line by way of the Queen Mum.

This should help understand the lineage from Alfred the Great (799) until Elizabeth II
