Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip: The story of their marriage.

Their differing backgrounds was a cause of concern to other members of the royal family, according to Clive Irving, the author of “The Last Queen: How Queen Elizabeth II Saved the Monarchy.”

Their courtship also took place under the shadow of King Edward VIII, who abdicated in 1936 after he fell in love with an American woman, Wallis Simpson, who was twice divorced. Edward decided to step away from the monarchy rather than give her up. Elizabeth and Philip announced their engagement in July 1947, and got married just over four months later, with the future queen smiling broadly in photos with her new husband. Like other brides in the years after World War II, Elizabeth had to use ration coupons to buy the materials for her wedding dress.The wedding itself was a grand affair, with 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey, a reception at Buckingham Palace and a 9-foot-tall wedding cake.

This adoration was also clear to Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, who extolled his love in a letter to his daughter after her wedding, expressing how much he would miss her.The couple soon had children, with Prince Charles arriving just a year after the wedding, and Princess Anne two years later.

The tv ratings in the UK literally cratered because no one wanted to watch the coverage of this person. Maybe romanticizing white supremacy and colonialism isn’t the box office draw you all thought.

I think innocent princess Elizabeth was set to be trapped in love by this wandering Greek royal and his maternal uncle Lord Mountbatten.

Weren’t they cousins

Who?!?

This is a puff piece and not based on facts.

it’s called incest 🖤

Yawn. Write about his Antifa days.

Leave HER. AT. peace,,,, US. Media..... LEAVE. HER. AT. pEACE..,

I met my spouse on our family reunion too 3

...the biggest honor to her ‘rock’ would be to hand down the throne to Charles and be there as his support and confidante. Only God has a ‘job for life’.

He was lucky, he lived with the maximum of dignity, here in Brazil it has not been easy lived, imagine having dignity....

The script could not have been written better than the truth of their history and relationship.

Ok

❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

zzzzzzzzz

She tolerated him

I DON'T CARE.

Reality check. These were not nice people. Read their real history. They both abused their power and wealth.

This is a real love story. Prince Phillip’s unconditional support to his wife, the Queen, for 73 years has to be recognized as exceptional. He had a God given virtue that not every man has; but he accepted his role for the love of his queen.

I believe The Crown version.

Well, that helps explain to me why they didn't see the disintegration of Charles and Diana's marriage coming. Naive young girl meets worldly older Prince, fairytale wedding--it worked out wonderfully for them, why would they think it would be otherwise for their son?

I’m actually ready for this to be over. Is that asking too much? Why is this dragging on ? I don’t even understand what you want.

Just think if you had to wear a dress everyday

Her public tears tell all.
