Amazing hand-written love notes in the margin of a prayer book between a lovesick Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, as he wooed her, are to be revealed in a new BBC television series. The scribbled messages, his one written in French, reveal the intensity of the king’s passion for his future wife, as he expressed his ardour with a note in her Book of Hours.
