Margaret Lee (lady in waiting)


Lady Margaret Lee 1543 was a sister of the poet Thomas Wyatt, and a favourite of Queen Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII of England.

Margaret is best remembered for having been a companion of Anne Boleyn, whose family estates lay near the Wyatts and who later employed Margaret as one of her ladiesinwaiting. A portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger shows a woman presumed to be Margaret at the age of thirtyfour, and it is assumed that it was painted around 1540. It is therefore probable that Margaret was very close to Anne in age, being born close to 1506
