"I have no other hope than for them to see that as happy as I am for you I am happy for me. But this will take an act from us for them to see. That what makes you, you makes me, me. And that we will always be the best of sisters"
It was believed that Anne and Mary Boleyn always wished the best for each other. They were each others half, and always desiring to be together until jealousy and competition divided them. It never occurred to them that the one holding the greatest power in England can ruin them and break their sisterly bond. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a king - one driven by ambition, the other by true affection - England is torn apart. Mary was always the sweet and naïve one, only longing for true love. Anne on the other hand stopped believing in true love after Henry Percy stole her heart. She went on a life long journey trying to gain power and become Queen of England, but she went too far to achieve that dream and was executed due to her own actions. Infidelity and incest destroyed her. Mary inevitably loved Anne until the end, but Anne did not show the same sympathy towards Mary. Anne harshly turned down Mary when she asked her for help with her marriage to William Stafford. Anne also stole Mary’s son from her, which is the most absurd act to set upon a mother and her children. Despite the dramatic consequences, the Boleyn girls ultimately find strength and loyalty in each other, and they remain forever connected by their bond as sisters.
