Портрет Генриха VIII: обувь монарха напоминает пирожки Greggs

King Henry VIII portrait 'proves time travel is real' with unusual detail A man has spotted something about King Henry VIII's sandals, leading him to speculate that the monarch might have been a time traveller A man has bizarrely claimed King Henry VIII's footwear bears an uncanny resemblance to Greggs steak bakes, prompting him to wonder whether the monarch was actually a time traveller. Luke from Manchester, posting on X, shared an image of the former ruler's portrait, highlighting his shoes which looked remarkably similar to the beloved pastry. He mused whether the 16th-century painting provided proof of the king journeying through time to sample Britain's favourite bakery chain. In his tweet, he joked: "Why do Henry VIII's shoes look like a Greggs steak bake?". The high street bakery was tickled by the comparison and replied with: "Losing our heads over this.", reports the Daily Star. The post has racked up almost 600 retweets and more than 3,000 likes, sparking widespread debate about the validity of his theory. One follower wittily said: "ahhh choux pastry". Another added: "Because they are, needs to keep those toes warm during winter."

A third person wrote: "On another note - ciabatta (bread) translates to slipper. This has been going on a long time". One sceptical user rejected the steak bake comparison, saying: "Bro that's cheese and onion. Get a grip." Meanwhile, another person jiked: "Because, and not many people know this, Henry VIII's feet were delish! ! !". Greggs, the UK's largest bakery chain, sells an impressive 1.5 million sausage rolls every week - that's a whopping 145 million each year. The second Tudor monarch reigned from 21 April 1509 until his death on 28 January 1547. He is notorious for his six marriages and his efforts to diminish the influence of the Catholic Church in England.
