Philippa Gregory Quote

There will be a child, but no child. There will be a king but no king. There will be a virgin queen all-forgotten. There will be a queen but no virgin. [And Lord Robert Dudley? he whispered.] He will have the making of a prince who will change the history of the world, I whispered in reply. And he will die, beloved by a queen, safe in his bed.
