Is that the Tyrell family, assassins by appointment to the royal family- see William Rufus, killed by Walter of that name, and James of the name, blamed for the princes by Thomas More.

Supposedly, but it wasn't believed even at the time since Tyrrel was Constable of Calais and in France at the time the princes vanished from sight. He was executed by Henry VII on the grounds that he was involed in a plot to put one of the De la Poles (children of Margaret Plantagenet) on the throne.
I'd like to meet her, in company with a translator and some kind of cultural intermediary, to see what she really was/is like. Not necessarily to have her in power again. There are some interesting ideas about her, like possibly being a priestess.
To borrow from an episode in the original "MacGyver" which included a musical about her, "Cleo rocks!"

The Tyrells make superb Shiraz (Hermitage) and Semillon wines, as well as those very good but rather less expensive.
Another vote for Clement Atlee, from back in the days when one suspects few men of his kind wore cologne, used deoderant, and whose suits probably smelt a bit mothbally, and whose general image was of a rather down-at-heel seedy headmaster, but who could actually run the country and get things done, according to firm principles and morals. Not that I have anything against men smelling nice and fresh! Far from it. But it seems to be all about grooming these days, even to the extent of the fetishising of Johnson's deliberate neglected look, or the 'Victorian haunted pencil' appeal of Rees Mogg. The first time I ever thought 'style over substance' was listening to and watching Tony Blair doing his People's Princess tripe in the Downing Street garden, after Diana's death.

Doesn’t help me much I’m afraid 🤣!
A letter in the latest edition of the Ricardian (the magazine of the Richard III Society) puts forward evidence for it being Sir Walter Tyrel.
Not true for us or many others we know
Ship Of Fools: The Website of Senior Momen...... sorry, what was the topic? 😉

Seconded, not least because he lived until Victoria was old enough to reign in her own right.
