The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh enjoyed 73 years of marriage until Prince Philip's death on 9 April 2021...
September 17, 2022 - 07:42 BST hellomagazine.com Arm in arm and smiling into each other's eyes, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh appeared as much in love in a photo taken in 2007 at Broadlands in Hampshire as they did on the first day of their honeymoon at the same stately country house 60 years earlier.
The King's private secretary, Tommy Lascelles, described how Philip and Elizabeth, dancing together on one occasion,"frisked and capered away till near 1am".SEE: The royal family share heartwarming family photos in touching tribute to the Queen On his return from the war in the Far East, Philip began a two-year post as a training officer at a naval base at Corsham in Wiltshire. Elizabeth told a friend a few years later:"He spent six weeks at Balmoral. It was great luck his getting a shore job just then."It's thought that it was during this holiday in the Highlands in 1946 that Philip proposed to Elizabeth. She accepted immediately, without even consulting her parents.
Elizabeth reluctantly agreed the official announcement should be postponed until the royal family had returned from a three-month tour of South Africa, a separation the King felt was a good test of the couple's commitment. Thousands had camped overnight outside Westminster Abbey to catch a glimpse of the bride in her fairytale Norman Hartnell gown. Inside, the groom was thoughtful as he made his vows."Am I being very brave or very foolish?" he had pondered days before.
As they started their own family – Prince Charles was born in 1948 and Princess Anne in 1950 – the couple enjoyed their most carefree days when Philip was appointed first lieutenant of the destroyer HMS Chequers in Malta in 1949.
