From the Queen's side I would have given Anne hell. She knows that the King is going to get what he wants one way or another so why not put up a little fight? Twenty-something years is a long time to be married just to get tossed away like yesterdays news. I would be beyond pissed. Being older and wrinkly looking down on the young, attractive girl my husband was pursuing I would have jumped off my throne and punched her.... Obviously a queen must act appropriately though so she just sat back and greeted Anne politely...to her face and the crowd at least.
From Anne's side she had the "you've had your chance now it's my turn" attitude. She was reluctant to see the Queen because she was aware that she knew about Anne and Henry. When she arrived she learned that everyone else seemed to know about it too. Anne had worn her most plain dress in an attempt to "lay low" but to no avail. Through the difficult time serving the Queen, Anne made everlasting friendships with Anne Gainsford, Joan Champernowe, and Mary Norris.
