Diana, Princess of Wales

Diana, Princess of Wales, was an iconic figure of the late 20th century, known for her compassion, style, and deep commitment to charitable causes. Born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961, she became an international symbol of humanitarian efforts, touching the lives of many with her genuine concern for the well-being of others. Her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981 brought her into the global spotlight, but it was her dedication to numerous causes, including the fight against landmines, AIDS, and her support for children's welfare, that truly cemented her legacy. Diana's ability to connect with people on a personal level, coupled with her elegance and grace, earned her the affectionate title of the "People's Princess." Tragically, her life was cut short in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997, but her legacy continues to inspire charitable work and compassion around the world.

The Royal Tudor Beasts Collection 
The Seymour Unicorn

The Royal Tudor Beasts, including The Seymour Unicorn, are a group of heraldic symbols associated with the Tudor dynasty, which ruled England from 1485 to 1603. The Seymour Unicorn is one of these symbolic creatures, and its history is intertwined with the rise of the Seymour family during the Tudor period.

The Tudor dynasty began with Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, which marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the start of the Tudor era. Henry VII married Elizabeth of York, uniting the warring houses of Lancaster and York, and established the Tudor rose as a symbol of this union, combining the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York.
