Elizabeth I.

[Lady Nikolaievna]

I found this information in a Brazilian website, two or three years ago, I think. Sure, as most of times, I might be completely mistaken     But I also know Princess Mary though she wasn't her father's daughter. She had her reasons. Am I correct to say Mary grew to love Elizabeth? Or at  least, maybe some affection?

Henry VIII called Mary ilegitimate when he knew that Catherine of Aragon wouldn't be able to gave him a son (before that I read that he loved his daughter very much) perhaps a similar situation happened with young Elizabeth, but really I'm not sure

When his marriage to Anne was annulled Elizabeth naturally became illegitimate, but Henry VIII never disputed his paternity. He continued to love both his daughters (or what he would consider love) but became furious with Mary when she wouldn't submit to his will.

You guys posted rare portraits of Elizabeth ,but not my favourite one:

Young Elizabeth,about 1546, by an unknown artist

[IrinaAlexandrovna]

In this photo released by Historical Portraits, in London on Monday June 12, 2006 a centuries-old portrait of England's Queen Elizabeth I as a gangly teen is seen. The portrait will go up for sale Thursday for 800,000 pounds (US $1.5 million, euro 1.2 million). London art dealer Philip Mould discovered the work, attributing it as authentically Elizabethan rather than a contemporary copy, as was originally though. "Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I when a Princess" is one of only two contemporaneous portraits of the queen as a young woman. The other hangs in the private collection of the royal family. Mould's London art gallery acquired the piece at the end of last year, after it had been in a private collection in Spain for 50 years. (AP Photo/HO Historicalportraits.com)

I believe this one was the image, but it's deleted..
