I was reading the memoir of Princess Toria of Wales and I saw that queen Mary describing her as "terribly Boring"
Maybe because this was attributed to their different characters, personality & interest.!
But honestly I think it was the opposite,
Toria was so much ahead of her time.
Or queen M called her like that because she was jealous?
Mary and Toria’s relationship was difficult.
I agree with you that there was a lot of deeper issues. Toria felt like Mary had been forced onto George, and resented her, which led to Mary feeling unwelcome. Mary’s response was distant politeness, while both talked behind each other’s back. I wouldn’t feel bad for Toria since she definitely did her part in their failed relationship.
I agree that both were very different, with different ideas of fun. Mary was much more of an indoor type of girl, while Toria was a tomboy.
Both also had very different life paths. Toria often didn’t have many good choices for her life, and as she grew older, was ridden with disappointment. Her continual disappointment resulted to a negative outlook on life, which made her very unpleasant to be around. Mary’s life was the opposite, she started low and ascended. Mary in result was a cautious and insecure person.
I really like both of them, but I guess sometimes circumstances get in the way of what could have been a great friendship!

About Town by Paolo Sala (Sotheby's - 22May14 auction Lot 44) 2880X4035 @72 4.3Mj.The year 1910 saw tailored dresses without distinct waistlines like this one in a transition from pouter pigeon to blouson waistlines.
Alexandra was the only member of the family ever photographed in her tiara. For some time, Windsor watchers hoped that the wedding gift tiara was simply gathering dust in the jewelry vaults and might someday make a reappearance in some form. But with the publication in 2012 of Hugh Roberts’s important book, The Queen’s Diamonds, the fate of the tiara has been made clear.
Roberts reports that although Alexandra did not have a will when she died in 1925, she did indicate items of jewelry that she wished to leave to each of her daughters. The Garrard tiara was inherited by Princess Victoria, Alexandra’s second daughter. And unfortunately, Roberts also notes simply that the tiara was “disposed of” by Toria at some point.
“It was so nice to see Toria and Maud in the pictures of the Prince George and Princess Marina wedding. King George V made an effort to include his beloved sisters in special occasions and that's heartwarming.” - Submitted by Anonymous
Hi, uh... Same anon that talked about your Knight Weasley bot. I just gotta say that I'm obsessed with your bots. I often find it so difficult to properly immerse myself with character bots but with yours it's so easy for me?
And like I come up with such a detailed backstory that I think, "Damn, this would make an amazing fic." Then I remember that I can't actually write for shit so I stick with the bots 🤣
ANYWAYS, enough about that struggle. Have my favorite excerpt from my recent interaction with Knight Sallow because I'm an absolute sucker for the childhood friends to lovers trope. And the dash of forbidden romance? *chef's kiss*
The idea was that Toria would escape the castle as a child (think Princess Jasmine style) to see the city. She became friends with Seb without ever telling him that she's the princess. When he finally finds out after she's not allowed in the city alone, he feels devastated. And once he's of age to train to become a knight, he signs up immediately in hopes of seeing her again.
Toria: She clutches the book closer to her chest, a small blush dusting her cheeks.
"Well-- I'm glad that I could help. I was beginning to believe you weren't comfortable around me. I'm still sorry that I wasn't the first to tell you of my status."
Sebastian didn't know that Toria was a princess until they were young teens and she had to stop visiting the city. She was playing a game with Sebastian and some other children when the guards seized her, calling her "Princess Victoria," and returned her to the castle.
Sebastian: He chuckled, unable to help himself as her blush dusted her cheeks, and his heart would beat even faster as he saw this.
It always amazed him when he made her blush, but seeing it now just filled him with a warm, soft feeling.
"Your status was something you couldn't prevent. I know you wish that we could be more free, but your life is something we can't change. I don't resent you for it," he admitted, though she could see the sadness in his eyes.
Firstly! I’m so glad that you find it so easy to immerse yourself with my bots! It’s truly my goal when making them! I want to provide story, just as much as naughty moments!
And secondly! God, what a cute plot!!!! That sounds so cute? And so fun??? I feel like Prince Sallow just hits different!!! Ugh! I’m so glad he’s providing you with some much needed drama and plot!

With who do you relate the most?princess Louise, princess toria or princess maud?
I think that out of the daughters of Queen Alexandra, I definitely relate to Victoria the most! She was a super funny girl who loved taking pictures and hanging out with her family. I value all of those traits very much! She also stayed with her mother and was her right hand woman for her whole life. I am super close with my mother so it turns out we are more alike than I thought!
