As Carey's mother had once been the mistress of King Henry VIII, there were many at court who speculated that he was in fact, the King's illegitimate son.Carey was created Baron Hunsdon on 13 January 1559 and Anne was styled Baroness Hunsdon. Following her elevation to the rank of a peer's wife, Anne was appointed a Lady of the Privy Chamber to Queen Elizabeth I, who was also her husband's first cousin and held the couple in high regard. When Henry died Elizabeth I paid for his funeral expenses and gave Anne a gift of £400 in addition to an annual pension of £200 from the Exchequer. Shortly before Henry's death, Elizabeth appointed Anne to the office of Keeper of Somerset House, a royal residence where the Queen had lived prior to her accession to the throne. Anne held the post for the remainder of her life.
