Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’swas one of love, respect, and long-lasting admiration. They first met at Britannia Royal Naval College in 1939, where an 18-year-old cadet Philip was introduced to a 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth of England while she was touring the grounds. From then, it’s said, the young royal never thought of anybody else. The two began to exchange letters through the war years.
Despite his stately title, there was originally some resistance about the marriage from the crown. Many thought Philip to be too brusque, too unpolished, too German, too Greek, too…un-English to marry then Princess Elizabeth. But Elizabeth was insistent. A formal announcement was made in July 1947, bearing Philip’s new Anglicized last name: Mountbatten. Months later, he renounced his right to the Greek and Danish thrones.
That November, they wed in front of 2,000 people at Westminster Abbey. “I wonder if Philip knows what he is taking on,” King George VI, Elizabeth’s father, was heard saying to a guest. “One day Lilibet will be queen and he will be consort. That’s much harder than being a king, but I think he’s the man for the job.”
Prince Philip, undoubtedly, thought he had more time before his wife became queen and he consort. The young couple lived for a few years in Malta, where Philip was stationed. They had two children, Charles and Anne. But King George fell ill, then grew sicker and died in 1952. Philip broke the news to his wife that, a mere five years after they were wed, they were now the most famous people in the world.
That, for Philip, was easier said than done. Accounts during the ’50s and ’60s paint Philip as a man adrift with alleged affairs and anger. He was unsure of his place, his role, his life. But eventually he found his way, crafting his own legacy while steadfastly supporting his wife. Turns out King George was right: He was, indeed, the man for his job.to their idyllic weekends at Balmoral and the duke’s final birthday at Windsor.

beautiful cousins
Must return the stolen wealth back to their native countries..!!!! British colonial king's were always a murderers & robbers.!!
That's not the story I heard.
Her COUSIN right! Oh okay!
Biggest lie ever. Incest and cheating is not a love story.
Wasn’t he extremely jealous and resentful, and cheated on her repeatedly? 🤨
Minsan… pinsan!
🙄 really though?
Aw they both have their grandpas nose😂
INCOMPLETE DEPICTION: Where's the trail of blood from all the colonies she presided over after the British killed Asians, Africans and Irish? Tell the truth about Elizabeth's Reign of Terror - GOD DIDN'T SAVE THE QUEEN, HE'S JUDGING HER RIGHT NOW.
Didn't he live apart from her for many years and have a lot of mistresses? Don't try to make fairytales real. These were not good people.
Weren’t they cousins ? 🤪
She sucked honestly
and don't forget them being the dearest cousins
I would love to believe that but there is evidence to the contrary.
That was beautiful. She certainly was an incredible woman and had a life well lived.

Take a look back at in pictures Tiger Hunting 1961 Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s The Queens Canopy earshot Prize etc. etc. more like revisionist history of royal family
