What Happened to Henry VIII's Illegitimate Children?

Henry VIII spent 4 marriages, 2 broken churches, and the better part of 30 years trying to secure a legitimate male heir. What most people don't know is that he had at least 3 other children outside his marriages — one he publicly called his "worldly jewel," one he raised as a tailor's daughter through a fortune in stolen monastic land, and 2 more whose existence he refused to acknowledge in his lifetime. This is the full story of what happened to Henry VIII's illegitimate children: the 17-year-old duke who was 6 weeks away from being named heir to the English throne, the daughter who served her own half-sister in the Tower of London, and the bloodline that walked back into Westminster Abbey 400 years later wearing a crown. Tudor history rarely sits this close to the present day. This is a researched documentary created for educational purposes.
