She Ordered A Dress Code
Queen Elizabeth I became more self-conscious about her appearance as she grew older. She even ordered that women of the court wear only black and white gowns while she wore extravagant garments. She desired it so that no one could take their gaze away from her. But years of rubbing chemicals on her skin were about to catch up with her. Queen Elizabeth I died when she was 69 years old.

Lead Poisoning Was Her Downfall
Queen Elizabeth I was suffering from hair loss, memory lapses, weariness, and gastric problems in her final year. These are all symptoms of lead poisoning, according to current specialists. Queen Elizabeth I appears to have taken the saying “beauty is pain” to a whole new level, since she continued to use the white lead-laced paint on her face until her death. It was even buried her. The queen’s demise was ultimately due to her vanity and desire to be the most beautiful person in the room.
