Queen Anne Boleyn’s direct bloodline ended with the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. However, another branch of the Boleyn family line lives on.
Anne Boleyn’s sister, Mary Boleyn, gave birth to several children: Catherine Carey, Henry Carey, and Unknown male Stafford. In 1923, one of Mary Boleyn’s direct descendants, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, married the then-Prince Albert, later known as king George VI. Their union produced two daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. When Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne, Britain once again had Boleyn ancestor on the throne, and once again a queen regnant named Elizabeth.
Today, the Boleyn ancestry lives on in Queen Elizabeth II’s four children, first and foremost King Charles III; his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry; William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis; and Harry’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
