I am curious, from a Catholic perspective, does the Anglican Church have apostolic succession?

No, Pope Leo XIII's Bull Apostolicae Curae defined that Anglican Orders were "utterly null and void" because the Anglican Church rejected the Catholic theology of the priesthood when it became Protestant.
