Henry VIII was King of England from 22 April 1509 until his death in 1547. Henry is best known for his six marriages, and for his efforts to have his first marriage annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement

Lawleys by Post commissioned the limited edition Queens of the Realm series in honor of the most memorable Queens in history.

This series of figures first introduced in 1986, is the unique marriage of skills and artistry capturing four great queens of England and Scotland in magnificent fine bone china.

The collection was researched and modeled by Pauline Parsons, a highly respected sculptor, well known by Royal Doulton collectors. Her challenge was to create a contemporary view of each of the queens; to convey their femininity and style within an artistic interpretation of the era. This careful research is typical of Pauline Parsons and why she is one of the most celebrated artists from the Royal Doulton studios in England.
