Anne Boleyn Crowned Queen - A Day of Splendour and Symbolism

Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

On this day in history, Anne Boleyn reached the pinnacle of her triumph.
After six years of struggle, scandal, and seismic political and religious change, Anne Boleyn was crowned Queen of England in a glittering ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Dressed in purple velvet, barefoot and crowned with the Crown of St Edward—a crown usually reserved for monarchs—Anne processed through a sea of blue cloth, surrounded by nobles, clergy, and the hopes of a dynasty.
This wasn’t just a coronation. It was a carefully orchestrated show of legitimacy, power, and divine approval.
Join me as I take you through every detail of this extraordinary day—from the riverside arrivals and the grand abbey ceremony to the 80-dish banquet and Anne’s moment of glory beneath a cloth of estate… all while the king watched from the shadows.
This was Anne Boleyn at her height. Her triumph. Her crowning moment.
Listen now to relive the grandeur of 1st June 1533.
