Most history enthusiasts and royal followers love to look back on photographs and imagine what the subjects were thinking, how vivid the black and white clothes would be in color, and most of all, to find family members who look alike.
Exploring Queen Mary's lasting influence on the modern royal family is fascinating! It's intriguing how her traits have been passed down through generations, subtly shaping the appearance of many royals we know today. Comparing old photographs with current ones really highlights these resemblances. I also appreciated your mention of the Hanoverian eyes, which adds another layer to the visual history of the royals.
So true. We (my youngest and I) are doing a tour of the different castles of the North th of England where we live and the portraits and pictures show this.
I love the photo of the three queens—Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and The Queen—in mourning after the death of George VI. Only a year of overlap.
Absolutely love this image. It also always serves as a reminder of how long both Queen Elizabeth’s lived. Amazing lives.
Honoured to have my ebook mentioned, thank you! 🌻

Princess Beatrice definitely has those Hanoverian eyes!
She does! It’s kind of crazy how it popped through again a few generations down!
