What nickname did the last monarch of the House of Tudor give to her governess and, later in life, her close friend?
Kat Ashley Katherine Ashley (circa 1502–1565) (or "Astley"), née Katherine Champernowne, was governess to Queen Elizabeth I and became her close friend in later life. She was known to the Queen as "Kat," and it is by the name "Kat Ashley" that she is generally known to history. She should not be confused with her niece Katherine Champernowne, mother successively of Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh.
