Queen Elizabeth I at Hever Castle
There are two portraits of Elizabeth I on display at Hever Castle, the childhood home of her mother, Anne Boleyn.
Both are on display in the Staircase Gallery and one is more unusual as it portrays her before she was Queen.
This was painted in the year of Elizabeth’s accession to the throne in 1558.
The second portrait is of Elizabeth later on in her reign as ‘Gloriana’ painted between 1585-1590
