On June 1st, 1553, Anne Boleyn was crowned Queen of England.
mistress-boleyn:

“Anne’s charm lay not so much in her physical appearance as in her vivacious personality, her gracefulness, her quick wit and other accomplishments. She was petite in stature, and had an appealing fragility about her… she shone at singing, making music, dancing and conversation… Not surprisingly, the young men of the court swarmed around her.”

“I know how I got there and it wasn’t all you! It was not all you, or Norfolk, or George or any man! It was also me. He fell in love with me; he respected me and my opinions. 
There is good news all around. Katherine is dead and I am pregnant. Do you understand? I am carrying the King’s son. We are on the edge of a golden world!”


Anne: Have you missed me? Elizabeth: Yes.

(She was the only pure thing in my life and in my life I neglected her. Since she was only a girl and I wanted so much to give you a son. But now I am so proud of her. Fiercely proud! She is so clever. And though she is like me in so many ways, she is not intemperate as I was. - Anne, 4.10)
