Black Teeth Became In Vouge
Queen Elizabeth was a fashion pioneer. Women aspired to look like her majesty since she was a revered and beautiful monarch. So much so that when her teeth started to rot later in life, black teeth became fashionable! While Queen Elizabeth I didn’t necessarily hide her failing teeth, which were caused by a love of sweet pastries and a lack of oral hygiene, there was one feature of her majesty that she didn’t want others to notice.

Queen Elizabeth I Contracted Smallpox
Queen Elizabeth I suffered the terrible disease smallpox while she was only 29 years old. Smallpox was widely feared because there was no treatment or vaccine. In fact, when her doctor, Dr. Burcot, initially informed Queen Elizabeth I of her condition, she assumed he was lying. The Queen of England was not infected with smallpox! Her high temperature, however, told a different story: her majesty was gravely unwell.
