I think there are two main things that point to Elizabeth loving her mother and respecting her mother’s memory 1) Her locket ring which contained a portrait of Anne and 2) Her coronation which made use of imagery used by her mother at her coronation. She also surrounded herself with Boleyn relatives and I’m sure she asked them about her mother when they were in private.

I am so glad that you said Elizabeth remembered and loved Anne Boleyn, there are so many people who say she just remembered her as a ‘traitoress’ and deserved her death, when you know that was not the case. Her mother died to protect her, for she knew that if Henry would not take his revenge over the trumped up charges on herself, it might of been Elizabeth.
