Was Elizabeth in Love with the man she could not have?
Robert Dudley was a horseman, he was close to Elizabeth for many years, they would go hunting together, she was drawn to his charm, wit and his attractiveness. Elizabeth would send him love letters, she needed to be careful of her public image and she did this well, she always had her head switched on and didn't keep her heart on her sleeve.
She was always powerful and held her guard up. However, there were rumors she was very much in love with Robert Dudley but he was already married to a lady named Amy, there was a love triangle going on and this was hard and there love affair was very secretive and hard for Elizabeth to see him with another lady.
However, Amy, Robert's wife falls ill within this time she accidentally falls and breaks her neck which results in her death. It was sudden and many people say it was plotted by Robert and Elizabeth, but in the end it came to a conclusion that it was an accidental death.
People say it was plotted so, Elizabeth and Robert could be together, this would of threatened her status and made her look awful as a bad role model, especially being Queen of England, she wanted people to look up to her, therefore
she could not be with Robert after this happening, she couldn't take that risk.
Elizabeth was was torn apart after this, I feel she really loved him and the fact she couldn't be with her true love made her think whats the point, maybe because if she couldn't have him and she wanted no man.

Cate Blanchett & Joseph Fiennes in Elizabeth I 2007 movie
I love this clip of Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley in the movie Elizabeth I, you can see passion and a secretive love affair, the tension is unreal, there relationship was a rollarcoaster and it is sad to see it end in such a way, I wish Elizabeth could of been with him, but her country was far too important to risk for a man.
25 years later an impostor appears on the scene claiming his name was Arthur Dudley, the son of Robert Dudley and Queen Elizabeth herself. At this time this happened a lot, people would say their were someone they weren't to get recognition, but was it true? Could he of been their secret love child?
Queen Elizabeth did travel a lot at this point of time, so she could of been hiding a child and given birth somewhere remote anyway from the public eye? She could of paid someone to keep it quiet about her having a child?
I wish they had made it work but there was no way she would of risked her country for a man.
