I have to agree with Anyanka. I think this quote is one out the deranged mind of a writer. In fact thinking about it, it sounds like SWMNBN would dream up.
I know that there was a rumour that Barbara Castlemaine (Charles 2nd mistress) had dangled one of her children by the King out of the window and threatened to drop him if Charles didn’t recognise him and give him a nobel title. But this is a whole new bag of spanners, and I’m wondering if it possible that when this “quote” was made in the book you read it was loosely based on this on this rumour.

I habe not heard of that one either. How long ago did you read it Farfalla? I am wondering if it might be Erickson or Lofts. They’re the only two much older ones I can think of off the top of my head, I don’t remember anything like that in Fraser.

I wasn’t over keen of Dunn’s “Queen of Subtleies” book, I found it quite disjointed. As for Hilariously Mental’s boks. I confess I haven’t read “Throw (Bring) up the bollocks, nor do I want to either. I read about half a chapter of Wolf Hall and deleted it.
SWMNBN books are best not mentioning really, some are passable but only just….

The quote is certainly very like something Anne would say in a fit of temper, but I don’t think she would have actually said it in real life. The birth of a prince to her would have been just as important to her as it would to Fat arse.
Thinking about this quote however brings to mind, the Duke of Monmouth C2 first bastard child or rather first accepted bastard child by Lucy Waters. strictly speaking, this child could have been considered the Prince of Wales. Monmouth certainly thought so as his foolhardy attempt to take the throne from J2 proves. It could entirely conceivable that this quote was made by Lucy Waters, who was from what little I know of her a bit of a drunken lush and she may have said it. Which in turn when the author was doing some research came across this quote and used it in his/her book.

I don’t think any of us will forget the SWMNBN radio interview (I think it is still on here somewhere too) In which she slated Anne like you wouldn’t believe and then turn around and said but I like her I really do, Grrrrrr not to mention her almost,certainly, maybe guilty bit.. There were teeth marks in the furniture and in Dinosaur that night I can tell you.
I will confess I did enjoy the Red/White Queen novels, but the Kingmakers daughter seemed to me at least, to be a conglomaration of what she had edited out of the Red/White Queen novels and I liked the Lady of the Rivers as well. The Virgin’s lover, and The Other Queen were just awful. The White Princess was certainly different, but I neither liked or disliked it. To sum it up in one word, Meh. The taming of the Queen seemed to be a cross between a mills and boon novel and Linda Lovelace sex scene.

The use of the word “Cremuel” in the TV series Wolf Hall just got right up my bugle, to be honest, although I did enjoy the very comical Duke of Norfolk portrayal, and as strange as it seems I do feel that the real life Norfolk apart from being a slimy jumped up poppingjay, would have been perhaps just as crude as he was portrayed in Wolf Hall.

I felt that Dunn’s QoS novel lacked something I can’t quite put my finger on, but you are right about Lucy’s bits being boring, she didn’t seem to do much, and what little she did do weren’t interesting. The Queen’s sorrow was a little better but again it seemed to fall flat where the storylines were concerned.
I must confess that I am extremely partial to any Jean Plaidy novel, and Cynthia Harrod Eagles, Morland family books. One of my fave books is Phillipa Wiat’s “Five Gold rings” about the Grey sisters in particular Catherine Grey..
