Many people remember seeing a famous portrait of Henry VIII holding a turkey leg. In reality, no well-known historical portrait shows him holding one. The memory likely comes from parodies, cartoons, and pop culture depictions that became blended with the real paintings, making it a classic image-based Mandela Effect.
