Well, the guys at the Tower of London are great storytellers but I wouldn't be 100% confident of the accuracy of all of it. And I think it's fairly recent that the story has been debunked. I thought it was true until very recently. The other thing I also heard recently is the thing about the Ravens at the Tower of London. Apparently there's no actual trace of that saying that the monarchy will fall if the ravens leave the Tower until the mid 19th Century. Sometimes these things are products of Victorian whimsy. Victorian London did like it's whimsy!
