Trivia: Which of Henry VIII’s queens survived him?
Anne Boleyn & Anne of Cleves
Jane Seymour & Catherine Parr
Catherine Parr & Anne of Cleves
Catherine Howard & Catherine Parr
The correct answer is Catherine Parr & Anne of Cleves
So why is this answer correct? : Many people remember the fate of King Henry VIII’s queens with this rhyme: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. However, Henry’s final wife, Catherine Parr, was not the only wife who survived him. His fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, also outlived him. Henry divorced Anne in 1540 after six months of marriage, but she became an honorary member of the family and was known as the “king’s beloved sister.”
