True [In reply to] Can't Post

though even with the legalized illegitimacy the Princes could have provided a popular and highly sentimental focus for rebellion. If the murders were carried out by Burckingham alone it could foreshadow his later turncoating by showing his jostling for position (?) or as an unappreciated gesture of loyalty (?). If Richard and Buckingham were in collusion, it doesn't exp[lain the later drift; but neither does it make sense that Buckingham never attempted to place the blame for deaths at Richard's door at some point before his execution. The other puzzle is the complete lack of investigation by Richard - as reigning King - into their disappearance; I go back and forth, but that's why I feel that guilt at least partially lies with Richard.
Either way it left an awkward void, as you said. If you can't show them around people are going to figure out that something is wrong!

All in all....what a potentially fascinating script!
People compare RA's potential performance to Sir Ian's, but as one is Shakespearean and one will be a modern script they will be very different productions. I would guess the project RA is concerned in will be filmed period as well and not 20th century.

Also just read that the Queen has forbidden DNA testing of the children's remains. So no confirmation or refution of identity any time soon. Too bad.

...she took the point at once, but she also took the spoons.
