In this episode of Talking Tudors, host Natalie Grueninger delves into the fascinating ways Elizabeth I publicly honoured her mother, Anne Boleyn, despite the turbulent history surrounding her execution. Joined by Dr. Owen Emerson, a social and cultural historian, the discussion reveals surprising insights into Elizabeth's reign and her efforts to restore Anne's legacy.
The conversation begins with Elizabeth's coronation and how she subtly yet powerfully acknowledged her mother's significance. Natalie and Owen explore an extraordinary document—an Act of Parliament—that reinstated Anne as a legitimate queen, shedding light on Elizabeth's strategic approach to affirm her own legitimacy.
Listeners will discover the symbolism and emblems that Elizabeth adopted, linking her reign to Anne Boleyn, and how these emblems permeated Elizabethan court culture. The episode also debunks the myth that Henry VIII destroyed all traces of Anne, showcasing surviving artefacts and portraits that celebrate her memory.
Join Natalie and Owen as they uncover the rich tapestry of historical evidence that highlights the enduring connection between Elizabeth I and her mother, Anne Boleyn, challenging the narrative that their relationship was kept in the shadows.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
