  • love for life.

    Alina Zainab

    Can you really love life even when things are tough?

    This week’s did not get upto a good start from Monday onwards with my father telling me to withdraw around £2000 from the bank which after having constant things going in my mind forget identification with me, but we agreed to do it on a Tuesday morning. But then my father said he and my sisters would leaving early on Tuesday 11th February, which i had to find another way to do it. My bank increased my limit but was only allowed to get £300 out on Monday and then £250 out on Tuesday morning, it was hectic, my niece passport is not sorted and couldn’t travel, so me, my mum and brother remained. but the thing going on Pakistan would only worsen my nieces mental health.

    Then my sister didn’t have any internet connection and before she left if i could order these two health plasters for my mother, which i did after managing the morning school run and tidying the bedroom and workspace, then i looked a the book mark i created and decided to promote them on etsy to show everyone i am not faking it. But this is where the stress leads on luckily for me i only had two products in stock published, one wanted the famous Elphaba wicked witch of the west bookmark, and i did what every seller would do start looking at the address of the customer and getting it shipped. But for some reason the verification is where i got stuck, I verified twice and only need to do my last check. But i did not have enough left for the last check, and then i realized hold on i’m only 23 what am i doing her and with only a personal bank account not even a business account set up. Everything seems too fast and to complicated. I felt sick to the stomach, low mood but i was fine last week, Do i have bipolar disorder now? I’m not sure but i am determined to pay the last check get my refund, my money back and anything in the future, set up a business account, make financial plans, maybe with an accountant or family member to help me along the way.

    These challenges can make life seem hard and distressed, but to love life to your best well, i’ll never find it i said when I was young, when i did think of suicide, authors like Jacqueline wilson, Holly Webb, Enid Blyton, Malorie Blackman, Roald Dhal, Michael Morpurgo, Charles Dickens and David williams saved my life.

    Also since 2023 after the king’s coronation, there where few post who shared with King Charles forgotten mistress who died broken heartedly after he chose Camilla. I am not a media critique, but at first i thought people made it up and that she was a friend of Camilla. Later learning a little more about her i was naive and believed toxic royalist or what this supposed other mistress so called friends have spoken about in the 2008 documentary prince Charles other mistress. Back in 2023 i became increasingly and toxically obsessed with Queen Camilla, i mean now i still support Queen Camilla, but keep my distance and comments limited, say lovely things.

    Dale Elizabeth Harper later Lady Dale Tryon nicknamed Kanga by her husband which King Charles and others called her that. At first like i mentioned earlier, i was like a toxic Camilla fan, especially with Dale, hating her saying she was only after fame and money. But doing a deep dig and dive into her history who she was, their are no biographies on her just journal articles, but most of these like the 2008 documentary prince Charles other mistress where written by the ones Dale once called confidantes and trusted friends.

    But in the face of loneliness, sadness, tragic accident and fake and toxic friends, she still remained a vibrant, vivacious, bubbly, funny and positive figure in her life. learning more about her, she quickly became an inspiration, as someone from artistic background and family, who had a passion for fashion in the back of my head, was even more inspired by her as a fashion designer, successful business woman an amzing mother and wife. The amazing mother and wife also comes from own grandmother and mother, also Queen Camilla.

    Reading, learning and watching dale’s interviews hearing her soothing voice, not only have i fallen for her, but i also empathise with her chronic pain (her spina bifida and me Rheumatoid arthritis), mental health issues such Generalised anxiety disorder, to depression to which dale would have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

    During the late 1970s Dale did an interview with Lana Wells a reporter from the australian women’s weekly, where Dale used to work before she worked as fashion agent for an american designer. This interview we see the true Dale Kanga Tryon- the quote that resonate with me the most is-

    “Happiness comes from within, you cant rely totally on another person to make you happy, i see people going from husband to husband searching for happiness. They’ll never find it.” – Wed 7th dec 1977-Australian womens weekly – Lady Dale Tryon (Kanga).

    This quote on happiness sticks with me first it came from favorite fashion designer and favorite person, but it is true because i tried getting happiness from my father failed, then relied on teachers both school and mosque failed, relied on my friends to make me happy failed well there close friends i love and adore, and who do make me happy. But one main thing i found happiness within myself i now joke about mistakes i did and what i could have done differently.

    Kanga or the australian rose i like to call her will forever be a guiding candle in my life.

  • Anna valentine

    Alina Zainab

    The designers behind Her majesty’s wedding dress on April 9th 2005.

    The designer behind Camilla’s iconic wedding dress, was Anna valentine, a fun fact about valentine is that she never studied fashion before, Anna and Antonia Robinson first met on pattern cutting course she mentioned to HELLO magazine that she duid sew garments for her friends and later sew them to pay for her singing lessons.

    Anna valentine fashion brand became more popular and famous when camilla wore one of her designs for her wedding since camilla was permitted not to wear tiara like the late Diana princess of Wales and no white because the late queen wore white on that day, so anna valentine designed and sewn Camilla’s wedding dress.

    According to HELLO magazine Dressing Queen Camilla

    The beautifully finished creations in luxury fabrics produced by designer Anna and Antonia were appreciated by the elite few for over a decade with relative anonymity. That all changed in 2001 when the duo was introduced to Camilla by a mutual friend. The pair then began a collaboration with the now Queen who asked them to “soften her look” that would eventually bring them world renown. “I think we did a camel coat first,” recalls Anna, who is the creative brains behind the partnership. It was followed by a cream column dress for a 2002 charity party at Somerset House, a creation which marked a turning point in Camilla’s image.

    Anna Valentine seems to be the new fashion designer to dress the royal ladies because she came back to design for Kate and even Megan markle, Even her majesties own daughter wore one of Anna and Antonia valentine designs like her mother Camilla.

    Sadly Since my favorite fashion designer’s legacy has been forgotten and who once was so loved in royal and aristocratic circles, but i hope through my website and designs people remember for the kind, caring, loving and generous fashion designer, mother, auntie, sister and wife and cousin she was

    But this article is to discuss how Anna Valentine also played a role in my fashion interest however i can not frown her fashion queen or queen of my heart since that title went to Kanga Dale Tryon, and also Camilla.

  • Kanga A fashion queen

    Alina Zainab

    Was she really the other mistress of prince Charles like the 2008 documentary called her?

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – DECEMBER 04: Prince Charles & Lady Dale Tryon (kanga) At The Diamond Ball At The Royal Lancaster Hotel In Aid Of The Charity ‘ Sane ‘ (Photo by Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images)

    Kanga also known as Dale elizabeth Harper later known as lady Dale Tryon after marrying Lord Anthony Tryon, it was a love match between them they called each other Ant and Kanga, her husband named her that because she was bouncy, bubbly, funny, vivacious and vibrant social elite amongst a mixture of social classes.

    The question arises many after the 2008 documentary was called prince Charles other mistress, it seemed funny because the narration at the beginning of the documentary said Dale Tryon was forgotten in history now her legacy will be remembered, and then i thought to myself watching the whole documentary they did not talk about her legacy. When the scene came to where Dale started her fashion business the narration said now that she was no longer in the prince inner circle she had to find a way, which portrayed her as a scheming villain trying to find her place back in the prince’s life and plotting to get everyone to adore her. But the truth everyone who meets her would adore her, she was so warm and funny and caring, something she shared with her rival Camilla Parker Bowles, sadly the media portrayed their playful, friendly competitive rival as worse sworn enemies deadly rivals.

    The media aka the documentary prince charles other mistress portrayed both of them mistresses, also creating this conspiracy theory of who pushed Dale out of the window, while i take Dale’s word that she was indeed pushed, i believe. But no I do not believe that her rival Camilla who also went through a tough time with media scrutiny or her husband, even though Dale talked bitter of both her rival and ex husband she wasn’t feeling well, and when someone is suffering it is not fair to create a theory and get to their head. Beside her so called friends the journalist she trusted betrayed her by not helping her and only wanting more gossip. Instead of celebrating her successes her being worldwide popular fashion designer, they tarnished her name and reputation as designer calling her a mistress.

    She was just friend of the royal family because she married into a high class aristocratic family, but when in 1997 her behaviour and health suffered mentally and physically and her so called friends didn’t help herher children, ex husband and mother in law where fond of her and tried to help her. In fact when they divorced her mother in law was sad because she like Dale for who she was, saying she liked the Tryon name.

    It saddens me that the kanga collection is hardly known and forgotten and when people talk about her they never talk about her with kindness in care, because of what happened to her i rather write my own articles on either my own fashion line or of my favorite fashion designer or other designers. From this i make a vow to keep my distance from journalist or member of the press, His majesty King Charles had Mark Bowland rehabilitate Camilla parker bowels image through writing nice press articles about her, which i want to to do for Dale, except the press articles i am not talking to journalists to do that they are only after money and fame. They will never have my trust and friendship, and i may thought rude but to protect myself, my family, my friends and mainly to protect Dale’s real legacy and the privacy of her family.

    “The Unspoken Rivalry: Dale Tryon and Camilla Parker Bowles”

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – DECEMBER 04: Prince Charles & Lady Dale Tryon (kanga) At The Diamond Ball At The Royal Lancaster Hotel In Aid Of The Charity ‘ Sane ‘ (Photo by Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images)

    Introduction/overview.

    I sit there 6th May 2023 the coronation live on BBC iplayer i scroll on TikTok many either toxic saying horrible things either the whole british royal family, King Charles or mainly queen Camilla, then there was post showing a picture or a beautiful, blondie very similar to camilla.

    She was known as Lady Dale Tryon or Kanga given to her by her husband Lord Anthony Tryon and the then prince of Wales. Kanga Like Camilla was a social elite, they would warm the room they walked in, people would quickly warm up to them. They where both funny, bubbly, vibrant people much like queen bees, especially when the prince of Wales felt comforted by both of them if Camilla got pregnant or was busy he would go to Dale and if Dale was busy he would go to Camilla. According to the 2008 Prince Charles the other mistress, there was push you pull me game battle going on. As Dale Elizabeth Harper she worked as an Australian reporter for my weekly, women’s weekly, fashion magazines, hello. later in the early 1970s as a fashion agent for an american designer which gave her experience becoming a fashion designer later on.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1076026/The-lonely-death-Charless-mistress.html

    Briefly describes the relationship between Charles, the royal family and mainly her serious rivalry relationship with Camilla rosemary Shand already known as Camilla Parker Bowles, was like. Both women where known as vivacious, vibrant women, however, Lord Tryon traveling all the way to Australia to aske her father for Dale’s hand in marriage and they got married in 1973 did not tell Dale as aristocrats and friend’s to the royal family to not talk to the press.

    The Rivalry with Camilla and their shared qualities.

    As mentioned in the introduction that her and Camilla had a lot of similarities they could have bonded over their shared interest, there humor maybe they did their rivalry seems to be more private. But Camilla and Dale are just iconic and have inspired me in many ways Dale in the fashion industry and Camilla in the Literature and reading festival industry. Their hate jealousy was two sided, for Dale it later got to her mainly after the leaked tampongate phone call between Camilla and Charles, learning that Charles close friends called Camilla to cheer him up, and also during the early 1980s during Charles and Diana’s honeymoon, where Charles desperately needed comfort from either Dale or Camilla and he called Camilla. Dale So desperately wanted to be the one to comfort them, i can imagine this is where the push you pull me comes in, will start of who is best at comforting others especially the the prince of Wales. Sadly, these two iconic women never kissed and made up or even formed an unlikely friendship between them. since Charles and the royal family left these two women on their own i was hoping for maybe camilla since Dale was suffering uterine cancer, for Camilla making an unexpected guest appearance to Dale, which they could first be arguing but then slowly helping each other, hugging it out.

    Dale Tryon’s Life and Legacy

    Lady Dale Tryon surely made a huge impact in the fashion industry and for many health Charities like INSPIRE helping raise awareness towards living with spina bifida what she had from a very young age. SANE a mental health charity offering worldwide support to everyone struggling.

    Lady Dale Tryon born as Dale Elizabeth Harper was born on the 3rd January 1948, her teens years during the 1960s and twenties like 1970s much like camilla mixed with quiet a variety of people. Lord Anthony Tryon was fond of her and travelled all the way to Australia to meet her parents and ask her father for her hand in marriage. She even herself mentioned she met the then prince of Wales through her husband, this is what a lot of Charles fans don’t show on their fanpage that Dale like camilla was just as important to Charles as Was Camilla.

    During the 1980s dale finally became a well known fashion designer, popular and famous. this is where Camilla might have gotten jealous and more hatred towards Dale or she might have silently praised Dale. Not show it in front of everyone, publicly but privately. Wilson. (2008). mentioned how one hated with loathing rage, i just wished they did make up in the 1990s where both where ignored by the royal family, with Dale struggling with her health i always imagined Camilla standing their lending a helping hand as she does now and the two could make up for lost time, and what ifs, but also thinking maybe their journey together was suppose to be complicated.

    legacy and memory

    Lady Dale ” Kanga ” Tryon Dale Elizabeth Tryon, Lady Tryon (3 January 1948 – 15 November 1997), was a colourful figure in British royal court circles, being a close friend of Prince Charles and a successful businesswoman in the international fashion world, with the fashion label “Kanga” and couture line “The Dale Tryon Collection”. “Kanga” also came to be her own nickname. Tryon gave her support to a number of charities including SANE – the mental health charity of which she was the chairman.

    Both Dale and Camilla have created an amazing legacy, Dale in the fashion industry and Camilla in the literature , both have had made a huge impact on health charities like Spina Bifida, SANE, osteoporosis society, arthritis foundation and so on. Camilla’s legacy probably would live on since she became duchess of cornwall in 2005 and 6th May 2023 Queen. i am upset though that many people only care about Camilla because of her status those who never met her, but with Dale just because she was normal fashion designer and very famous and popular in the fashion industry for me she is a fashion queen, but for anyone out there she is just forgotten. Learning about her she received such an unfair treatment and so has Camilla during the 1990s with Dale being called mad when she wasn’t locking her up from the world made her even more hurt, betrayed, lonely and scared.

    To conclude this article i do have a feeling that Camilla and Dale could have been the best of friends with their shared qualities, maybe from their own enemies to friends or enemies to lovers story. Today we have @loosewomen is the 25hr talkathon nd reminded more of Dale she was lonely and forgotten may this article make everyone aware especially Camilla and Charles fans that Dale was also very important to Charles but please do not put women against each other i can now truly class myself as a fan of both Dale (Kanga) and Camilla they are the true queens of my heart.

    Thank you to her mah=jesty HM Queen Camilla and in loving memory Lady Dale Tryon (kanga).

  • A fashion Queen in the 1980s and 1990s.

    Lady Dale Elizabeth Tryon also known as Dale Elizabeth Harper was an australian social elite, she was born on the 3rd January 1948 in Melbourne, Australia, during the 1960s she worked as an australian reporter for my weekly, womens weekly and with relocation assistance moved from Australia to the United Kingdom, London. during the late 1960s and early 1970s she mixed with a wide range from people from all sort of backgrounds her funny, bubbly, vivacious side is what caught the eye of handsome, stern faced Lord Anthony Tryon,
    Lord Tryon loved Dale’s bubbly, funny vivacious side and her good sense of humor learning she came from Australia and after dating her in the early 1970s he got down on one knee and proposed to her, he even flew all the way to Australia to ask her father for her hand in marriage both parents had no problems, as they thought Dale and Anthony where a match, they even gave each other nicknames she called him Ant and he called her Kanga which she later used for fashion label.the couple married summer of 1973, to which they welcomed their first child, a daughter, Zoe Tryon.Lord Tryon was also a close friend of the then prince of Wales, Charles which he introduced his wife to him. Dale like Camilla Rosemary Shand later Camilla Parker Bowles, was this blonde, beautiful , bubbly, funny vivacious person that brighten each room they walk in, like Camilla Dale held the gift of comforting others mainly the prince of Wales. According to Penny Junor in the duchess the untold story, has mentioned that Charles went to Dale and Camilla where the only two women whose opinion matters to him the most. Both women where so similar that i feel comforted by both of them, they could have been friends but instead they hate each other, they had push you pull me rivalry going on between them.
    This article is all about my admiration of Dale and why i love her and how she admires me especially considering why i love her fashion line.


    • Vibrant Colours – When i looked at the women’s wear she designs, most of her dress are blue, but with a mix of vibrant colours in different shapes and sizes which makes it unique and pretty.
    • Cultural – Kanga dresses and blouses show variety of cultures in her fashion line, especially african style, something i should have worn when i went to Pakistan in 2017.
    • Carefree, party style – Most of kanga dresses often are designed for parties, which usually cost around £100-£300 reasonable price for a party dress, i don’t know much party dress since  Dale is is party peacock here.
    • Blouses – The work i do i need a smart blouse but with a colour that shines my personality. 

     

    Since there is a documentary about her  in 2008 named prince Charles other mistress, many would see her as the mistress of King Charles 3rd, but to be honest i see her as the queen of Australian fashion, a real style queen, style icon. 

    She just knew how to style each fashion item whether it was  designer from Gucci (Gucci) Coco Chanel (Chanel), Louis Vuitton or jewellery from Tiffany & Co brand. Lady Dale Tryon knew how to style each item from each brand, she worked as an fashion agent for an american designer. So no wonder she was such a style icon in her time.

    If she where alive and not queen of the untied kingdom and commonwealth, duchess of Cornwall/Princess of Wales. I would happily and kindly ask her if she like to mentor me and teach me about fashion. She is and always will be my style queen and my main source of inspiration in the fashion industry.

    In loving memory of Lady Dale tryon also known as Dale Elizabeth Harper.

    KANGA (1948-1997).
