Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Gabe (USA) on Queen Mary
"She is the very picture of a queen. She was a queen from her toes to her tousled head!"

Kolesnichenko (Russia) on Queen Mary
"She is my relative. And it's a very clever statement that is given above her photo."

Frank (USA) on Queen Mary
"She is Queen Mary."

Richard (USA) on Queen Mary
"Her first son abdicated and her second son becomes king. She must have been mortified, but she showed great restraint. And she lost, I think 3 sons, during her life."

Earl (USA) on Queen Mary
"She represented an image of what a woman should be."

Audrey (Canada) on Queen Mary
"A family story goes that my great-grandfather's sister Alice Stride was a dressmaker for Princess May of Teck (as she was then)."

Steve (UK) on Queen Mary
"She ruled over a third of the world as queen and empress. She is noble and forthright. She was the power of the time."

Michael (Australia) on Queen Mary
"Splendid toques!"

Jennifer (Canada) on Queen Mary
"For being who she was. She never pretended to be happy at public occasions like other royals even though they weren't. You could plainly tell she wasn't happy at all. She also so regal and upright and majestic. That is something we'll never see again."

Mark (Australia) on Queen Mary
"She was one of a kind and there will never be anyone like here again!"

Carolyn (USA) on Queen Mary
"I was fortunate enough to play her in a scene from the play Crown Matrimonial-- the pressure on her and everything she prized was incredible, but she said exactly what she thought. Not only that, she was so dedicated to her country that she was not exactly a loving mother. As you can see from the abdication scandal, her country came first every time.  Amazing."

Clare (UK) on Queen Mary
"... because she represents a bygone era."

Simon (UK) on Queen Mary
"Her style, her regality and her prowess. A classic royal diva!"

Roman (Slovenia) on Queen Mary
"... because she was very beautiful and royally elegant."

Adam (Scotland) on Queen Mary
"... because she was very dignified and smoked!"

Steve (UK) on Queen Mary
"She was extremely dedicated and always put duty first!"

Cheyenne (USA) on Queen Mary
"I see her in my dreams."

Patricia (Canada) on Queen Mary
"... because that is the way she was."

Christopher (UK) on Queen Mary
"For sheer goddamned royalty she takes some beating. That famous imperious stare, the total devotion to position and the position of her family, and her inability to bend in the face of any opposition. The only white woman ever crowned Empress of India in India. The Grand Dowager manque. Ma'am, we salute you."
