- How Queen Elizabeth I of England looked in Real Life. In this video I show you how she might have looked based on the many portraits of her. I use my technology and photoshop skills to transform Elizabeth I portraits to show my artistic interpretation on how I think she might have looked in real life.

Elizabeth (1533-1603) was the last Monarch of the Tudor Dynasty. Her grandfather King Henry VII began the dynasty in 1485 - 1509. Then his son King Henry VIII took the throne. He took his two daughters out of line of succession for his only son Edward VI. When Edward died young, their cousin Lady Jane Grey became the 9 days Queen. Then Mary her half-sister from Henry's first wife Catherine of Aragon became Queen. Finally when she died, Elizabeth became Queen.
Her reign would last 44 years and was known as England's Golden Age because of the "peace" she gave to her country after years of disruption.
In 1562 she got smallpox which left her scarred. In this video I show her portraits from when she was young to old. Prior to her scars and after.
She was not known to be very pretty, especially as she aged. Her complexion disintegrated due to the poisonous makeups she used which contained lead and mercury. Also the huge amounts of sugar matched with poor dental hygiene, gave her black and rotting teeth.
Thanks for watching!

You are fabulous and I appreciate all your skills but thank you for the correction! You are so professional. Xx
@@thewilltopower6860 ha ha ha . ....wonder how is dat pronounce
@@izafri what
I like how you incorporated the scarring she had after the pox! People today can't imagine how disfiguring it really was! Kudos to you!
Hi Kathy, how are you doing?
My mother in law had the pox scars also in her face.
yeah but many high class women in medieval times used very,very bad products on their hair and skin , most of them looked ugly when they grow older, people think that Mary Queen of Scots was beutiful when she died....nnope she wasnt at all, she had also very thin and short grey hair when she died , I think that people are focusing soo much on how ugly Elizabeth was in the end of their life that they forget that many high class women looked horrible at those times, not only Elizabeth, smallpox was a real problem and people didnt know how harmful some of these products would be what they were using
@@HK-gm8pe when she was young she was very pretty but when she used make up, it was poisonous so she needed more and more make up to cover up the scaring from the make up.
@@femke6313 yes I know that, I was just saying that Elizabeth wasnt the only one with this problem at that time,many high class women had the same problem, Mary Queen of Scots was also beautiful when she was young but ugly when she died , it was like that with many rich women, it was 16 century overall and we didnt know much about these products back then...even if you study the Victorian Era history then you will be shocked on how stupid people were and how dangerous products we used only 150 years ago , I can imagine that in 2100 people are talking about how unhealthy products we used in 2021 , humanity is involving all the time in 16 century we just didnt know how poisnous and unhealthy some of these things were, also like I said smallpox was a serious problem and not only Elizabeth had it, I feel like people are focusing soo much on how ugly Elizabeth was in the end of her life that they forget that not only Elizabeth looked ugly but many,amny high class women looked ugly also Elizabeth had amazngly long life , she lived almost to 70 thats amazing, usually Tudor women didnt live to see their 50th birthday, also I dont think that it really matters how ugly Elizabeth was, her actions are more important than her appearance
I like the way you don't pretty them up, other you tubers who do historical animations tend to make all their animations look like super models, despite what the statues or painting they are animating look like. Yours look much more believable.
Politics/Washington they say is for ugly people, the opposite of Hollywood. If there were only portraits of people during our times, I guarantee that those other channels in the future would turn Hillary Clinton and Margaret Thatcher into Hollywood beauties.
That's great 👍 The way you create reality.💯 Lana North Carolina 💌
I love that they're not yassified.
@@SweetJeopardy what does that mean
Yeah like Royalty Now Studios does
Kudos! Many of the other 'what did they look like in real life' channels, who do the same work, end up with their subjects having a 'too pretty' sameness and often, lose their individuality. But not this channel. Your renderings retain the individuality and all too human quirkiness of the sitters looks. Your talent shines through. Congratulations
Thank you
I agree! The transformations I've seen on other channels tend to "yassify" their subjects (ie. they omit scarring, apply makeup, lashes, etc), maybe because they're basing their looks only on their portraits -which were heavily embellished to favor their subjects. It was basically facetune before facetune existed - omitting the descriptions and details included in their biographies and other accounts of the period. This is absolutely amazing work!
What a shame that pox disfigured her so badly, because she appears to have been absolutely gorgeous as a young woman.
It must've been very heartbreaking and humiliating for her to have been scarred by small pox. In those days a monarch was expected to be blemish free and look spectacular. That is why she had very ornate gowns and used the Venetian Ceruse to try to hide the scars.
She looked absolutely gorgeous when she was young, I thought the very same thing.
I can't imagine what she went through.
@Vladpryde It was probably karma for her dad chopping all these women’s heads off

It's incredible that Elizabeth 1st actually survived to the age of 69 years. Wonder Woman.
Even w/the scars, Elizabeth wore her age very well; she might've lived longer were it not for the political need for the lead-based makeup.
The average Tudor lifespan was only about 41-42 years.
Being richer than God helped, no doubt.
Queen Elizabeth 1st reaching the ripe old age of 69 is incredible. Queen Elizabeth 1 and II, very amazing women. We are so very fortunate to have their impressive personas on this Earth for these long time periods. God Bless Them Both.
Especially with lead and mercury being piled on daily!!
It's so amazing how consistent the artists were. With your animations you can clearly see how she looked while growing up, very recognizable
If they lived today thay would be called photoshop artists
Her late-life picture was truly frightening.
Apparently make up in the old days contain white lead as main ingredient. She wore thick make up constantly since 29 to cover up scars from when she contracted smallpox. Its a vicious cycle, it slowly eat up her skin. By which she cover it with even more mercury and lead make up. By the time of her death she apply at least an inch of a makeup layer. Her face was so disfigured by her constant use of mercury and white lead.
@@chrismoreno7181 It's amazing that she lived as long as she did, also because during those times, they rarely bathed, once or twice a year -and that was it.
@@reenierossi3724 That is a complete fallacy that has been completely debunked. The Tudors did wash, and had hygiene. Public bath houses existed in England until the at least the 1540s. Her father Henry VIII was known to be very fastidious and very clean, in spite of the fact that he had illnesses and an ulcerated leg later in life.
Actually Queen Elizabeth was notorious for taking weekly full immersive baths. As there was no hot running water, it would’ve been quite the production to do , but she was the queen. There are a number of historians that have written about Elizabethan era hygiene that you might want to read upon. By the way it was the later Stuarts who were somehow more adverse to water and this fear of water as a source of infection actually coalesced in the 17th and early 18th century.
Read up on James the First, her successor, he was notoriously smelly.
Resembles Bette Davis
@@anneedge3627 Good points.
Henry IV of France was also notoriously stinky 😁
Fascinating work that you do. It's also interesting to note that both Queen Elizabeth the first and second became Queen at the age of 25 years old.
And both very beautiful, very queenly in appearance.
the way they painted pearls back then, is something else.
They look so lifelike. The fact they sewed them into gowns is amazing. The dressmaking back then was astounding.
I’ve heard that these people were even depictured with jewelery thay had never owned, just to make a statement: I’m rich=I,v got the most power👑
@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 Elizabeth even had pearls in some of her wigs. She REALLY liked pearls.
@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 also, the pearls are so large and perfectly pear shaped.
@@jamesaron1967 IN HER WIGS?
As someone who can't stand the feel of a turtleneck sweater..... _those collars give me anxiety_
Great vid 👍
I am not alone…..😍
I find it difficult to watch Victorian / American Western era films because of those high collars ( don’t mention the word ‘starched’)
And as for the harsh wool collars of soldiers’ tunics…..😫
Perhaps, she was trying to cover up her Adam's Apple. There was a story that the real Queen Elizabeth I passed away when she was about 10 (from what I can't remember), but they had to go into the village to find a child that looked like her with that red hair because Henry VIII her father, had not seen her for a couple of years and was coming to visit.
The child that they found according to the story, did look a lot like her but was a male.
I often thought the story might be true because she looked very different from when she was a little girl, (at least in the portraits), and she looked quite masculine.
You can take it from there...
Millstone around your neck!
Yes my claustrophobia I feel started when I was a young kid and I got stuck in a sweater because the neck was so tight and I just sat there panicking and another time my mom put these shorts on me that were so tight and For whatever reason I immediately dropped into a sumo squat to attempt to split these pants at the seams to get them off
@@reenierossi3724 VERY interesting….new tunnel in my rabbit hole, thanks!!
Place names in England are notoriously hard to pronounce, if you’re not English. Greenwich is actually pronounced Grenidge, or Grinidge. I love your videos. Short, sweet and straight to the point with interesting depictions of facial animation, if I may call it that. I subscribed a while back and look forward to seeing new ones.
Thats so stupid. No letter im Greenwich hints it's pronounced Grenridge. This is why everyone hates the british
I've said Green - witch. People can correct me. Bodika? I once said Bo-dee-see- ah until I was corrected. I'm kind of Australian. Things change.
@@Jenifer_G you've gone on a tangent here somehow.....
what- i always thought it was just greenwhich as in pronouniasion {idk how to spell} gr-ee-n wi-ch greenwich not Grenidge lol
I was gonna comment this. I know how to pronounce things many Americans don’t know. I am half American and half British.
I feel so sorry for Lady Jane Grey. So young to die.
She didn’t want the throne, was very well educated, and Mary liked her and wanted to save her, but couldn’t as she was much to dangerous as a figurehead for Protestants.
Queen Jane didn’t want the throne and was very well educated. Mary liked her and wanted to save her, but couldn’t as she was much too dangerous as a figurehead for Protestants. Elizabeth was lucky.
@@warrengwonka2479 Yes, about the only thing that saved Elizabeth was the fact that they were sisters. She was declared a bastard though 😅
I think Mary quickly realised that Jane Gray had been a pawn in her parents bid for power. She only had Jane executed because of the stupidity of Sir Henry Gray, Jane's father. This is what he did to ensure that his eldest daughter would not survive: As we know, Jane Gray had been Queen for only 9 days before Mary Tudor advanced to London with her many supporters and, of course, took the throne. At this time Jane and her husband Guildford Dudley were imprisoned in the Tower. Then, only a short time later, Sir Henry - who had already been very lucky to win a reprieve from Mary Tudor for his first attempt to put his daughter on the throne of England, tried YET AGAIN to gather supporters and have his daughter made Queen!!! It was this insane plot which did for poor Jane Gray in the end. Her husband Guildford was beheaded first - and Jane was able to watch her husband's execution from her room in the Tower. Guildford's headless corpse was then thrown into a cart with his head by his feet 😳 and the cart was trundled passed Jane's window so she could get a really good look at what would happen to her the next morning.
@@amandajones6481 Exactly someone knows their history. Too many people say Mary was harsh but ignore how cruel her sister and father were. Both killed more than Mary did.
Your work is marvellous. Your narration is brief, clear & informative. I really enjoy it. A big applause for such overall fantastic work.
Agreed, wonderful work!
👍👍
Fabulous thank you. Now you nailed her looking old! She was really pretty, apparently, when younger and famous for her beautiful red hair. Despite her decline she was a remarkable Queen. Consise and great narration..👏👏👏🌞
She had a beautiful face when she was young..
Queen Elizabeth The 1st
Was brilliant and lived quite a long time for those times. She will be remembered for her strength and courage ❤
She was striking, when young, a lot like her mother but with the Tudor colouring. She must have been a radiant, charismatic Queen, when she ascended the throne. Her sister Mary was fearsome! A lot like her old pa.
A "white face" was considered a sign of great beauty, hence, the heavy make-up.
Elizabeth's last speech to Parliament became known as "The Golden Speech". She was supposed to address the outrageous price gouging of nobility with monopolies (and she briefly did), but primarily she spoke of how much she loved England, loved her people, and had always tried to do what was right for them knowing she would have to account to God.
It's a stunningly beautiful speech. See Wikipedia "'Golden Speech".
@@veramae4098 The heavy makeup was more to hide her smallpox scars.
She was beautiful when she was younger.
And brilliant
Took the words right out of my mouth. 25yo Elizabeth looks like an absolute beauty
You guys have low standards.
@@jennyrose9454 girl hush 😒
@@jennyrose9454 funny
I’ve always wondered how Henry VIII & Queen Elizabeth looked so this was truly neat to watch. From this depiction she appears to have been truly beautiful in her youth.
Sadly, it's NOT really possible to say if ANY of the portraits were ACCURATE. The personal vanity of the individuals being painted and the "political messages" being imparted influenced the end results. Apart from very rare written descriptions, which again, are open to interpretation the only way to more accurately know would be by forensically reconstructing the skulls of those concerned. As disinterment of our late Royals is totally out of the question(and illegal of course) we shall never really EVER know🤷🏼😉
@@MovingOndaisy Yeah, no one wants to be the one to paint a member of the royal family in an unflattering light but his interpretations are still interesting nonetheless.
@@MovingOndaisy Also, I feel the images of Queen Elizabeth in her youth, are closer to being accurate than inaccurate. No one would’ve believed she would go on to be the historical figure we now know her to be & after the death of her mother she fell out of favor with Henry the VIII then later her sister when she was Queen. So, there probably was less of a fear when painting her earlier portraits. I mean her own sister contemplated killing her at one point, I doubt she would’ve cared if paintings of her were unflattering.
@@karawigley6231 Exactly, people forget how precarious Elizabeth's early life was. People probably doubted she would've lived to thirty, much less become the sovereign.
@@MovingOndaisy Half the time, I can't understand what people from that era are describing. 😒
Even as old with her scars, she was still beautiful! Her eyes were gorgeous and captivating.
Whichever drugs your taking STOP!
@@chiz1611 lmaoo
Maybe hes into Gilfs
Just watched your video on Anne Boleyn, and some of the younger Elizabeth pictures here look just like some of the Anne ones! Its so lovely to know that she looked similar to her mother
I read long ago, that during the final week of her life, her mental health was so bad she was suffering from psychosis and hallucinations. The Palace had to practically force her down into bed because she was either pacing or standing for hours on end. Once she had died, one of the servants found a letter titled "His Last Letter". Turns out she had kept Robert Dudley's (close friend, probable lover) final message for the rest of her life.
I'm pretty sure she died from lead poisoning complications.
Despite the make up and despite her deteriorating skin and her scars, Queen Elizabeth the first wasn’t too bad looking, and she wasn’t really that ugly either but I thought she was kind of pretty.
Her teeth were bad, but so far her appearance and her reign paid off. I can see why she was a popular queen.
Thank you for your videos! I know they take many hours to do, but it's fascinating to see a painting come to life! Your narrations are calm and factual, and I also appreciate that. 😊
Yes!!! You did Elizabeth!!! ❤️
This channel is incredible & your artistry is amazing
Fascinating!
I really enjoyed the animation of the portraits. Your presentation was superb!
I'm subscribing and sharing ...looking forward to seeing more of your presentations.
THANK YOU!👏😊
Some of the younger pics of Elizabeth remind me of Meryl Streep. Streep would be perfect to play the part of Elizabeth, if they ever made one. A recent one. 😀👍
I actually think someone like Mia Wasikowska would be good. I want to see a recent drama of that era.
Ikr?? She looked so much like Meryl Streep!
I think that Bette Davis bore a strong resemblance to the older Elizabeth. Cate Blanchett embodied the young Elizabeth.. T
😱 This is one of the most interesting channels I have discovered! It’s always been intriguing to me how all of those figures looked like. Thank you for this amazing job!
Glad you like them!
1:11 she is so beautuful here!😯
Love this. I've seen the exhibit of such l portraits with modern hair, make up and clothing which was great, this is another way that allows these people to seem more real and relatable, love it! Would be great to see the two combined here!.
I’d be interested in a Mary Queen of Scots video since she was a rival of Queen Elizabeth I. Contemporaries at the time said Mary was the “fairer” of the two. Curious to see how she’d look animated by you.
Thanks. Yes I have Mary, Queen of Scots: th-cam.com/video/8BrCO4i9_Fg/w-d-xo.html
I think you are the best at animating portraits. Your recreations stay with the eyebrows, etc, where others change features to more modern styles. Thank tou.
Fluent in Scottish! 😆 That’s STILL an underrated skill! 🇬🇧
That’s really funny😄

This was fascinating, and not only from the historical aspect. ! I know enough about video editing to know how much goes into a grand effort such as this. You've got my attention and my subscription.
WOW this is amazingly well done. Just..wow
Starting to slowly get into this channel...and yes, the hints of reality by way of details in the face lends itself to my interest and my curiosity. It really does feel like you are taking a peek into their lives through a time machine. *I do want to note that I find it sad at how she really tried hard to beautify her skin only to be making it worse. From my understanding that was the case for many at that time. Can you imagine the symptoms? Especially the depression and not knowing why you keep feeling that way...
You are so smart and you obviously have immense talent. Thank you for producing such great videos. I appreciate all of your hard work. 🦋✨
your content continues to get better and better!
Really wonderful work! Thank you for sharing with the YT universe

I absolutely love ❤ your videos, especially the way you're able to transform the portraits of historical figures into real people! Just a word about pronunciation: Greenwich is not pronounced "green-witch," but "grenn - itch." I hope you're not offended by me saying this, because I honestly think you're doing a really great job in making all your videos. Love from Amanda xox

Portraits were the propaganda of the day, and still are.
I watched an Elizabethan era cooking show here on YT a while ago and they said marzipan (pronounced march-pane) was E1's favorite treat.
I really enjoy your videos!!
I'm a new subscriber and just found this story. I love everything about it and am going to binge on others this evening. Thank you sooooo much for this.
You do a wonderful job, your work is much appreciated!
I'd really like to see Margaret Beaufort brought out from her one know portrait, maybe funeral effigie though as a better likeness to work from.
It's my suspicion that Elizabeth had the likely combined appearance of both her mother Ann and great-grandmother Margaret.
This is absolutely amazing! I have only just found your channel, but I know I'll be bingeing! Fascinating. :)
Another amazing video..thank you
Superb. Like always. Thank you again for a great video. p.s. I love Queen elizabeth 1.
