Before the marriage contract to the Dauphin Francis of France was actually signed, Mary, Queen of Scots signed three separate deeds by which, in the event of her demise without children, Scotland and Mary's right to the throne of England were made over freely to the crown of France.

Archduke Charles of Austria was one of the possible men Queen Elizabeth I might have married.   
As to whether he might convert to Protestantism, Charles replied that he and his family had always been Catholic.   
The Queen would think little of him if he casually tossed his religion away.

I can’t even imagine how complex Mary’s feelings would have been towards her half-sister. I’m sure she loved her but there would have also been so much valid room for contention.

Their father treated both their mothers horribly. Royal princesses who were his Queens did not get beheaded, though. Funny that. Only aristocratic/noble  wives.

I wonder how well they actually knew each other - they were 17 years apart, that is a generation.
They were also kept apart by the customs of royal medieval child-rearing: child was kept in the nursery with her nurses and nannies and the young woman was in her rooms.
Add to this that Anne Boleyn and Mary did not get along (small wonders), and during Boleyn's time Mary was kept very much on the outside, replaced as royal princess by the baby sister and then later on after Boleyn, Mary struck  friendships with some of the other wives while Elizabeth was on the outside, we have to wonder how much sisterly love there was or had opportunity to grow.
Plus they were pretty firmly on very opposing sides of the religious battle.
I really don't think there was any love lost between these two women.

I believe for a bit that Mary was required to live with Elizabeth and serve her, as another way of demeaning her. However, Elizabeth would have been a baby then. I do think some of the later wives like Jane Seymour and Katherine Parr tried to reconcile the girls.

Mary, Queen of Scots regularly washed her face with white wine. She believed that it helped her complexion.

It was thought that Elizabeth I of England may have contracted smallpox in 1562, which left scarring on her skin and brought about her later faithful use of Venetian ceruse to hide the blemishes that remained.

Venetian ceruse, also known as blanc de ceruse de Venise and Spirits of Saturn, was a 16th-century cosmetic used as a skin whitener. It was in great demand and considered the best available at the time, supposedly containing the best quality white lead sourced from Venice, the global merchant capital at the time. It is similar to the regular ceruse, although it was marketed as better, more exclusive and more expensive than the regular ceruse variant. The regular ceruse white pigment is a basic lead carbonate of chemical formula 2 PbCO 3·Pb(OH)2 while the mineral cerussite is a simple carbonate of lead (PbCO3).

A recipe from 1688 described the cosmetic as a mixture of water, vinegar, and lead. The cosmetic's use of white lead as a pigment was detrimental to the human body and caused lead poisoning, skin damage, hair loss and in some cases eventual death.

White lead was not only used in Venetian ceruse, but also several other 16th century cosmetics. They had presence in blush products for application on the cheeks and were used in lip stains, by combining red pigments such as vermilion or sandalwood and cinnabar, which contained more harmful compounds such as mercury sulphide.
