Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and King Charles III are descendants of Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn's sister. Hever Castle in Kent was the family seat of the Boleyns and the childhood home of Queen Consort Anne Boleyn.
Queen Elizabeth II is not a direct descendant of Henry VIII. Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I, was the last of the Tudor monarchs. She had no children. However, Queen Elizabeth II is related to Henry VIII through Henry's sister and is directly descended from Henry VII, Henry VIII's father.
Elizabeth I was the first cousin, 5 times removed of Queen Anne (Stuart). Queen Anne (Stuart) was the great-niece of Queen Elizabeth (Stuart) of Bohemia (who was the daughter of James I). Queen Anne (again, Stuart) is also the second cousin, 9 times removed of Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth was two years and eight months old when her mother was beheaded on 19 May 1536, four months after Catherine of Aragon's death from natural causes. Elizabeth was declared illegitimate and deprived of her place in the royal succession. Eleven days after Anne Boleyn's execution, Henry married Jane Seymour.

Did Anne Boleyn's daughter become the Queen of England?
Elizabeth I - the last Tudor monarch - was born at Greenwich on 7 September 1533, the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Her early life was full of uncertainties, and her chances of succeeding to the throne seemed very slight once her half-brother Edward was born in 1537.
Her life story reveals intriguing contradictions: Anne was a dedicated and conscientious stateswoman who oversaw the lasting union of England and Scotland, she was also a mother in poor health, who endured 17 pregnancies and outlived all her children. Painfully shy, yet able to assert her authority when needed.
There are no Tudors of patrilineal descent anymore. That is to say, there are no Tudors who can be traced through the male line of the founder of the dynasty (in this case we'll start at Henry VII, the first Tudor King). The line of acknowledged Tudor children dies out with Elizabeth I.
England's royals are the best known in the world, and can trace their roots back nearly 1,200 years. Queen Elizabeth II, who died Sept. 8, 2022, has three generations of direct heirs living, a line of succession not seen since Queen Victoria's rule in the late 19th century.

Queen Anne lost 17 children, some through miscarriage, some who died young. At the time one of her key roles would have been to produce an heir, and her inability to do this changed the course of the royal family. Because Anne did not produce an heir, the Hanover dynasty began.
Shortly after the death of the French Queen Maria Theresa of Spain, wife of Louis XIV, in 1683, courtiers said that this woman could be the daughter, allegedly black, to whom the Queen gave birth in 1664.
The Queen was just 22 when she gave birth to her first son and heir to the throne, Charles. He was born on November 14, 1948, which meant he was only 3 years old when his mother ascended the throne, according to the BBC.
Queen Charlotte died in her bedroom in Kew Palace on 17 November 1818. She was 74 years old. The queen had been suffering from a condition called dropsy, which causes swelling and pain. While recovering at Kew she caught pneumonia and died.
Official records say the longest-reigning monarch in British history died from old age at 96, but Gyles Brandreth, writing in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, said she had a form of bone marrow cancer called multiple myeloma in the last period of her life.
Why did Elizabeth become queen and not her mother?
As the eldest child of her father, she was the Heir Presumptive and remained so because her parents didn't have a son. If they had, he would have become king. Well, her mother (also named Elizabeth) was Queen. She was Queen Consort, that is, Queen by virtue of being married to the King.
For Elizabeth, marriage was not a certain thing and as she had witnessed as a child, could easily lead to trouble. Also, another theory is that she feared dying in childbirth, as she had witnessed with two of Henry VIII's wives.
