Oh gosh I’m sorry…..

I’m not at home rn (I think…I read this in Antonia Fraser’s Six Wives and then from there searched the quote and found it #confirmed in the archives) but if memory serves; Henry VIII in like…somewhere in the ballpark 1529-1532 essentially announced (to his privy council? I think) that his desire to remarry was not at all motivated by lust. 

And basically he was like: “If you think that it is just know……I’m not young anymore…..I’m 40 so what even is lust, lads   Never felt that…….never experienced that…….emotion.”
