If there is love enough, then nothing - not nature, not even death itself - can come between two who love each other. The SONS OF YORK will destroy each other, one brother destroying another, uncles devouring nephews, fathers beheading sons. THE WHITE QUEEN (2013)

Inspired by this post by @bunniesandbeheadings , a list of explanations for what happened to the Princes in the Tower:
They both fell down the stairs.
They murdered EACH OTHER.
Everyone who has been accused of murdering them turned up to murder them at the same time, only to find they had died of natural causes already, so they all backed out of the room without saying anything.
They escaped out of the window by tying bedsheets together.
They were murdered by George Duke of Clarence's ghost.
Aliens.
Autocannibalism.
Spontaneous human combustion.
The plot of season one of Blackadder is 100% factually accurate.
They were eaten by wolves.
A surge of improbability caused them both to turn into bowls of petunias.
They became companions of the Doctor and ended up settling down on a planet three galaxies away.
They are both still alive TO THIS DAY.

Elizabeth of York, fashion character design, c. 1472-1473.
The fleur-de-lys on the dress make me think of the moment when Elizabeth was engaged to Charles, the Dauphin of France.

RICHARD: Three glorious suns, each one a perfect sun; ... EDWARD: 'Tis wondrous strange, the like yet never heard of. I think it cites us, brother, to the field, That we, the sons of brave Plantagenet, Each one already blazing by our meeds, Should notwithstanding join our lights together And over-shine the earth as this the world. Whate'er it bodes, henceforward will I bear 665 Upon my target three fair-shining suns.

Female rage in shakespeare like 'i would eat his heart in the market place' 'take my defiance! Die, perish' 'yet have we some revenge' 'in rage, Juno-like' 'i will to him and pluck out his eyes' 'let him that makes but trifles of his eyes first hand me' 'Princes and Counties!' not to mention Lady M, Regan, Margaret of Anjou in Richard iii. So much popular media today still can't even pass the bechdel test when shakespeare literally got it four entire centuries ago

If you dare to think that I have developed some kind of obsession with little Elizabeth of York, I must tell you...
… you are right.
P.S. My mom told me she looks like a historical Tinkerbell and now I can't stop thinking about it lol
