I think the part that put it over the top was the on-the-way-to-the-burial, which the link doesn't necessarily support. I mean, presumably Anne was a political person, enough to figure out what she had to do, whether or not she wanted to. But there are ways of doing things, and the Richard of the play is just a bit over-the-top (making for good theater, of course). As for the princes, yes, likely so. Though I still admit to clinging to the Tey version. As noted in the program, Shakespeare was writing for a Tudor audience, which had an interest in Richard being a dastardly villain, shoring up Richmond's weak-but-for-his-marriage claim for the throne.
