I think Henry VIII was reincarnated as Hugh Heffner - he certainly would have loved the bunnies!

Henry was very into change on the political side of things so I think he would have made a great prime Minister!!! Or maybe the head of the C of E. Whatever it was, Henry was bound to have done very well. He excelled at sport, music, history, etc etc.

He was a larger than life person so he would have to be a rock star.

Henry would be a rock star! No doubt. He was a musician and loved the spotlight and the bling. He also enjoyed having his "groupies".

Henry was a truly magnificent King! Wolsey was an equally amazing companion and confidant! My prayer is that they are in the heavens, reminiscing about the many years they served one another. Henry was a colorful Tudor and shaped our lives today!

I think he would've been a famous hunter because Henry loved to go hunting. I have been to Hampton Court Palace and I went to the Horn room where Henry captured loads and loads of deers and other animals.

Perhaps he would have been a Wedding Planner...? Or a Divorce Lawyer...?!

Henry VIII might be a gangster or a president of Weight Watchers.

Henry was a handsome and kind soul who had the wrong people tell him what to do. Thus he became as they. I believe he loved his people and his kingdom but he was "The King of England".

He was gentle, misunderstood and a poet and romantic. He despaired when his people betrayed him. I am fascinated by the legend that he was.
