Tudor had no opportunity to kill the Princes ????

Several years ago in one of the serious Richard the Third books (I wish I
could remember which!), I read that there was contemporary evidence - a
letter from one lady to another in London - that the two boys were seen
playing in the Tower grounds AFTER Bosworth. Months later in 1486.
Has anyone else come across this? Know where it is from?
The author tried hard to discredit it saying the that writer of the letter
was mistaken about what year it was.
Personally, I believe that Richard had the boys hidden away - perhaps in
Burgundy - but this bit about them being seen after Richard died in battle
wrecks my preferred option!!!
Anyone?

Ah, Greg, I'm not aware of such a thing. If you ever do recall where you read it...?
I've this fantasy that little bits, in the form of letters, accounts, wills et al. still lie in wait, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, which was dropped and the parts went flying. Some have been recovered, others discarded, but a few remain, tucked in dusty corners, unnoticed because on their own, they don't look like anything important.
Look how long it's taken to go beyond conventional wisdom and - we hope - recover Richard's body?
When the same old line of thinking just leads to more of the same, time to try something entirely different.
Or as Jean-Paul Marat says in Marat/Sade: "The important thing is to pull yourself up by the hair, turn yourself inside out, and see the whole world with new eyes."
