    Catherine of Aragon trending on Henry VIII and Jane Seymour's 483rd wedding anniversary... Guuurl that's shady πŸ•ΆοΈ Until her dying day, Catherine didn't believe her and Henry's annulment was genuine, signing her final letter to him, "Catherine the Queen" πŸ‘‘

    An excerpt from Queen Victoria’s diary on 24 Dec 1840 gives us a glimpse into her Christmas: β€œI then arranged the present tables for Albert & Mama with 2 fine Christmas trees.” In the spirit of Victoria, we’ve been busy decking the halls of her former home at #KensingtonPalace πŸŽ„
