Your Majesty, in this moment when the whole world is saddened by your death, I want to remember an unforgettable moment when at one of my exhibitions in London that you graced with your presence, in front of a black velvet dress, I said to you, "Madam, the black is a divine color for your complexion”. Smiling, you replied that you would love it, but you could only wear Black at funerals. Today our hearts will follow your funeral with sadness and gratitude for having given us so many examples... and not only for England but for the whole world. Rest in Peace, Madam. VALENTINO
