    ? ? ? ?King Henry VIII always had great afffection for his eldest daughter, Mary, although she could be a cantankerous little Madam in her youth. Mary refused to have dealings with anyone who did not call her 'Princess' and her behaviour became so bad that it was almost impossible for anybody to even routinely communicate with her. In addition Mary seems to have inherited her mothers paranoid fear of being poisoned much to the annoyance of her Governess, The Lady Anne Shelton.? ? ? Matters came to a head one day in 1534 when Mary threw a tantrum during a routine move; refusing to budge because of some minor infringement of her status. This so infuriated Lady Shelton that she had her eighteen-year-old ward bodily thrown into a litter, and carted off with Mary still uttering auguished protests.? ? ? On another occasion, when the Bishop of Tarbes paid a formal visit to Elizabeth on behalf of Francis I,? Mary had to be physically restrained from throwing herself upon the ambassador; screaming loudly that 'SHE' was the only real Princess in the house and demanding to know what business the ambasador had with her half-sister.? ? ? Isn't it fun to know that even Kings of England sometimes have had to put up with awkward teenage tantrums?

    You wonder what it would have been like if there were paparazzi around back then.
