Jane Seymour<\/a> didn’t realise she has the same name as Henry VIII’s third wife.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jane Seymour didn’t realise the significance of her name<\/p>\n

The 73-year-old actress – whose birth name is Joyce Frankenberg – has revealed that she adopted the name without realising that it was the same as the former Queen of England, who died in the 16th century.<\/p>\n

Jane said on ‘Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone’: “My agent said, \u2018Your name is too long, too foreign, and too difficult to spell, so we want something English.’ So I kept the initial J, and I thought plain \u2018Jane.\u2019 … Then somebody came up with the idea of \u2018Seymour,\u2019 and it sounded very English. Easy to remember.<\/p>\n

“It took us a little moment or two [to realise] that it was actually Henry VIII’s middle wife, the one that no one ever spoke about, until they started making all these movies about Henry the VIII!”<\/p>\n

Jane observed that some of Henry’s other wives are better known.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “I would never have done it. But then, you know, if I was going to call myself Catherine of Aragon … No, I would never have done that or Anne Boleyn. But Jane Seymour \u2026 No one had ever heard of Jane Seymour.”<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, Jane previously revealed that she’s determined to fight ‘unseenism’.<\/p>\n

\nThe actress believes that the social phenomenon – which devalues women in society as they age – is a “real, really large issue in the medical world” and she’s determined to fight back against it.<\/p>\n

\nJane told PEOPLE: “A lot of women, sort of [age] 50 on, just kind of hide away and expect not to be listened to or heard.<\/p>\n

\n“It’s a real, really large issue in the medical world because you have to empower women to actually stand up for their rights.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
