My Contemporary Sitter & New Elizabethan

Sitter
Ive decided that the purpose of my contemporary Elizabethan look will be a design featured in a high fashion magazine editorial article based on the interpretation of icons throughout history. 

Ive decided that the sitter for my contemporary look will be Barbara Palvin.

The reason Ive chosen Barbara is because I feel she fits the bill as a contemporary Mary Stuart. Her complexion is beautifully pale and her hair is a beautiful shade of chestnut brown, altogether she has a very renaissance look about her. I feel her appearance would lend itself greatly to my high fashion design.

My New ElizabethanI have been tasked to nominate a modern individual who represents a new elizabethan. The aim of this I think is to solidify my understanding of the elizabethan era and individuals within it. 
I have chosen Prince Harry.

The reason I've nominated prince Harry as my new elizabethan is because i think he draws a few similarities with my researched elizabethan Mary Queen of Scots. First of all, they are both members of british regency. Like Mary Prince Harry has a claim to the throne, but as second born son this is overshadowed by his older brother prince William who has a direct line to the throne and would be the rightful ruler after his father, Prince Charles. Similarly, Mary had a claim to the throne but this was overshadowed by Elizabeth's stronger claim through her blood relation to King Henry VII. 

Although I doubt William's tried to murder his brother and nephew.
