I always feel sorry for her whenever I read about her.

[Whitneypyant]

They left out some things. Mary didn’t want to be killed. She knew that Jane was a pawn and initially had imprisoned. Lady Jane Grey's father started a rebellion in her name which sealed her fate.

Possibly the most tragic teenager in history.

[keshaslays]

Forgot to mention she was only 16 years old when her own cousin Mary Tudor had her executed.

[darcihuddleston]

So sad for her. She was a pawn in her family's schemes

[DawnSuttonfabfour]

I've been to the house she was held in, in Ingatestone, Essex. She had scratched a poem into the wall and it was still there.

[Anita-rqev]

This was great. I feel sad for her, as her life was cut short. Thank you

[honeybadger]

Wow, what a tragic turn of events here. Poor Jane didn't stand a chance.

[COBO]

She should have never have been beheaded.

Yes Jane ruled England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 for 9 days but, her reign 👑 was triumphant. As said the words for the movie 🎥🍿 Lady Jane. For me personally it should be Queen 👑 Jane.

[charliekezza]

Poor young thing she didn't stand a chance.

[gwinniboots]

So cruelly used and destroyed. Poor lady.

[Yayyy..]

Wow, where did you find that video of I?!

[atlanticjem]

This is the best use of that technology I've seen. I'd love to see more videos of people in portraits "speaking" for themselves, telling their own story.

[blancasalgado]

😢😢😢😢 so beautiful..is so sad hearing her name poor thing had to die on some one else’s ambition 😢

[CountessKitten]

I ❤️ the talking head shorts, they're delightful and smart! 👌😍

[TammyLReyes]

It is sad all the men in her life had a cumulative affect on her life. If ANY of those people had cared about her, and not their own power play hunger, KNOWING if this went bad she would die. She died because of those around her, I guess they did not think about their complicity would get them executed too. Still boys🙄🙄🙄

[stefanroehling]

Inside a British museum with a digital screen and old golden painting screen, would be a real harry potter moment for adults and kids.

[paulrodgers]

Its sad she got executed for something she had no control over. Ship her off to a convent.

[shirleymoore]

Have you guys done one of these talking heads videos for Catherine the Great? That would be spectacular!
