Many people know her as the ‘Most Ugly’ queen of Henry VIII, as Henry cited various aspects of Anne that he does not like to justify the divorce. These include references to her nose, height, skin, and the fact that she is not a maiden and probably had a child.
Henry VIII executed his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, for setting up this marriage.

Using Artificial Intelligence and Animation, we want to show how people (both famous and infamous) looked in real life, allowing you to imagine their real faces. We bring you the real animated faces of Anne of Cleves (both beautiful and as Henry VIII described her), Christina of Denmark, Thomas Cromwell, Hans Holbein the Younger, and Henry VIII.

At meeting history, we use artificial intelligence and animation tools, including MyHeritage’s Deep Nostalgia and Reallusion’s Character Creator 3 and iClone.

We converted their portrait to enable you to imagine how they may have looked in real life.

In creating this video, we found is that there are more to Anne of Cleves.
There are probably some more profound reasons why she could not reject Henry VIII outright as Christina of Denmark has done.
Henry was thrilled with the portraits by Hans Holbein, and the fact that he never punished Hans Holbein for the possible misleading picture means that Anne was not the “Ugly Queen,” which he suggested.
She made the most out of her failed marriage.
After marrying Henry VIII for seven months, she earned four properties and an annual income of three thousand pounds, equivalent to 1.3 million pounds of annual income for seven years.
She stayed in England for 17 years and never returned home, getting to know Mary (who shares her age) and Elizabeth.
Anne of Cleves loved Elizabeth from their first meeting. She remarked that she was happier been Elizabeth’s stepmother than Henry’s queen.
She lost Mary’s favor as she tried to get her brother to help Elizabeth during the Wyatt Revolt.
When she died in September 1557, she was very close to seeing Elizabeth becoming queen.
She died relatively young, but she was generous and easy-going and was a brave lady who made the most out of her unsuccessful marriage to a temperamental king in a foreign land.
She survived Henry VIII for ten years and Katherine Parr for nine years.
Poor Catherine Howard, who replaced her as queen, was executed in less than eight months.

Comparatively, she was the most successful queen of all six queens of Henry VIII.
