One thing I'm thrilled about, especially given some of the choices made in terms of her characterization, is that Anne's love for little Elizabeth is being shown. The scenes between them are so sweet and it's obvious how much Anne adores her child. It's sad to watch in some ways, because I know that Anne will be dead before Elizabeth is old enough to have anything but the faintest memories of her, but Natalie does an absolutely beautiful job with those scenes.
From the beginning, when Anne is holding baby Elizabeth, she loves her. The fact that Elizabeth is a girl means that Anne's position is less secure than it could have been if she had given birth to Edward/Henry but that doesn't affect her feelings towards her baby. I thought that she sounded concerned when Henry said that he was going to make Mary one of Elizabeth's attendants - Mary is evidently not supposed to be left alone with the baby, or to pick her up - and when she is peppering Lady Bryan with questions about Elizabeth's feeding habits, you can tell that she'd love to be able to feed her baby herself instead of having to leave the job to a wetnurse and rely on second- and third-hand reports from others. The scene in Episode Seven, when toddler Elizabeth is brought to Anne and the two of them are looking at the fishes brought tears to my eyes. Anne was so happy to be able to be with her daughter again and, even though she has been so unhappy recently, she wouldn't let Elizabeth see her cry and put on a brave face for her sake. Even Brereton seemed affected by that scene; in his head, he's dehumanized Anne to allow him to justify murdering her but then he sees her playing with her daughter. Can a woman who loves her child so much really be the evil monster he has set out to destroy? At the back of her mind, I think that Anne is also aware that it's important for Elizabeth's future security, as well her own, that she have a son ASAP.
