Wow. That was interesting reading coming from the king in the carpark. I remember hearing the case in school.
I’ve never read an explanation for an alternative killer that satisfactorily explains why Richard didn’t produce the boys when rumours were flying that they’d been killed, even when proclaiming his innocence in the matter.
“Supportive” of plans isn’t the same as “supportive” of action (not sure they will make it public even if they do it).
History Hit posted [this video](https://youtu.be/TkMX4-Tb4XM) a few weeks ago. It’s an interesting alternative theory about what might have happened to them.
We all know who did it, so it’s kind of already “solved” in that sense. Would be interesting to be sure they’re the correct remains though.
Last time I heard, the bones were of folk too young for their gender to be determined skeletally, which made them too young to be the princes, and the interrments preceded the construction of that tower.
No it won’t.
The mystery is over 500 years old but the kids are just 12 and less.
That headline makes it seems like it’s 12 year old Edward V and *Charles* younger brother.
Though it genuinely wouldn’t surprise me, and would fit in with even recent Royal history, if the Queen had a child that was severely disabled, kept secret as a result, died young then was buried without telling anyone…
