<p>Tempest, again thank you so much! I have a lot on my mind this week, but your links have filled it with beauty, elegance and some great stories! Much needed. I might get some royal biography from the library for a bit more escapism this weekend.</p>

<p>Ok, here's some more resources....in particular I was thinking about Stefania's request for archives like Time</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Royal Collection has an e-gallery at the moment called Dress For the Occasion which is seriously good: <a href="http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/dressfortheoccasion/default.asp">http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/dressfortheoccasion/default.asp</a></p>

<p>The British National Portrait Gallery has some great paintings AND photos....it might take a little time to search as there are lots of European royals in there too, but stick 'Queen' or 'Princess' or 'Countess' into the search for sitters and you'll find some nice stuff.....even better if there's a royal you really want to search for:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/sitA-Z.php">http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/sitA-Z.php</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Fashion Era.com has tons of great royal fashion photos if you work through the links....I'm particularly loving the 60s and 70s clothes: <a href="http://www.fashion-era.com/royal_clothes.htm">http://www.fashion-era.com/royal_clothes.htm</a> And the royal tours links are good too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There's some lovely illustrations in this article: </p>

<p>I have done a bit of googlering and I am pretty sure you have already found anything I managed to come across.</p>
<p>As a sideline I was thinking: do you know anyone with a subscription to the Time magazine website that you could borrow for a few hours? It would be a bit like going down the library, but the searching process is bound to be faster.</p>

<p>If anyone finds a site with good colour pics of Princess Margaret, please let me know.....I'm pulling my hair out trying to find some that are anything but her wedding dress (which was gorgeous) or her before she died. I know she wore some fab stuff in the 50's and 60's but can't find anything inspiring yet.</p>
