His Majesty does not have syphilis. He wants to make that quite clear.

And as for the wives – there were perfectly good reasons why they had to go. And if we’re asking the awkward questions, Henry has one for us, where is God? Henry has been waiting 468 years to meet God and he’s running out of patience.
