â??Henry VIII will be spinning in his grave!â? said the headline in The Daily Mail, a British tabloid.

Hampton Court Palace, where the Tudor king, Henry, broke off ties with the papacy in 1530 just to divorce his first wife and marry his mistress â?? with whom he was besotted and whom he later beheaded â?? on Tuesday held its first Roman Catholic service in more than 450 years.
