Happy birthday to a true Princess. You may have been lonely of heart but you were the loveliest of hearts. You still continue to take my breath away. We miss you. We honour you. Rest in peace.
“Midnight Blue Silk and Tulle Diamante Embellished Strapless Evening Dress”
Diana officially wore this gown on three occasions, pictures in order above at top, Left to right, with information below:

Diana then chose this gown as part of a collection to be auctioned via Christie’s Auction House, in New York in 1997. The most recent picture in the gown, shown above, was taken in 1997 by Lord Snowden, to add to the catalogue for the auction.
really loved how Larrain put these little funny moments in what otherwise was one of the darkest films this year, not just stunningly shot, Kristen also deserves a lot of credit
Diana, Princess of Wales, experienced both sides of royalty - enjoying the love and adoration of the public while also submitting to the pressure of projecting a perfect image in a world with no privacy. Walking this tightrope with grace and charm, Lady Di fought through constraint and scandal to be positively herself. For her, that meant a life advocating for the homeless, the sick, the injured, and the poor. Her tragic death in 1997 was a great loss to the international community, but her Push Girl legacy lives on.
Tell your friend she’s got a little Diana in her. Reblog now to give her a little push.

Isabella of Castille had 4 daughter, the 1st and the 3nd was queen of Portugal, but her most famous daughters are Juanna of Castille and Catherine of Aragon.
Juanna of Castille or Juanna la Loca
Juana became known as Juanna la Loca (Joanna the Mad), because of her emotional disorders, which worsened with the affairs of her husband, Philip the Handsome, by whom she was completely in love.
Most historians now agree that she had melancholia, severe clinical depression, a psychosis, or a case of inherited schizophrenia. There is debate about the diagnosis that she was mentally ill considering that her symptoms were aggravated by non-consensual confinement and control by others who had assumed her royal powers.
c. 1500
Catherine of Aragon (Catalina de Aragon), queen of England
Catalina de Aragon as princess of Wales, when she still was married with prince Arthur, Henry VIII’s older brother and heir of english throne until his death. She became queen of England by her marriage with Henry VIII. Henry divorced her to marry Anne Boleyn. She and Henry was Queen Mary I’s parents.
As I relied on a picture of only her face, I used as reference, the dresses Elizabeth of York (her mother-in-law) and Isabella of Castile (her mother) to can make the skirt.
I was wondering make a real version of Catalina, since only had done the Tudor’s show version. Catalina was red, not brunet, and how I made her mother, sisters and daughter as red, it would be really weird if just she didn’t was according with she really was.
The 1st fanart was inspired in one of her most famous portraits when she stillwas just princess of Wales as wife of prince Arthur Tudor (c. 1502), and 2nd fanart was inspired in a George Stuart’s wax figure when she already was queen of England as the first wife of Henry VIII (c. 1530).
