Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip: A love story (FOX 13 Tampa Bay)

Queen Elizabeth II wore the British crown for 70 years, but she wore her wedding ring even longer.

She and Philip were touring the commonwealth and were in Kenya when she learned of her father’s passing. The next day, Philip became the duke of Edinburgh, earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich of Greenwich in the County of London. "You can take it from me that the queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance." But the queen had a remedy for that. He swore to become "her liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship." (Photo by The Print Collector/Getty Images) He was Sir Philip Mountbatten — a knight of the garter, but no longer a prince. Pomp and circumstance befitting a princess lined the streets of London. Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip make their way down the aisle of Westminster Abbey, London, on their wedding day, 20th November 1947. Both Elizabeth and Philip descend from Queen Victoria, their great-great-grandmother who married a German prince. Philip’s heritage was German, and the allied world had been distancing itself from German heritage since World War I. The "Prince Charming" trope is common in fairytales, but it was real life for her majesty.

Elizabeth and Philip: a love that lasted seven decades (The Guardian)

Duke of Edinburgh was said to be the only person to treat the Queen as 'simply another human being'

But in postwar Britain and with his sisters married to Nazis he would be a hard sell to the public. You can take it from me that the Queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance.” Sir John Colville wrote of Philip’s first visit to Balmoral as a serious suitor: “Lords Salisbury, Eldon and Stanley think him no gentleman, and in a sense they are right. It was July 1939, during a royal visit to the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth where he was a cadet, and he found himself charged with entertaining Princess Elizabeth, known as Lilibet, and her nine-year-old sister, Margaret. The establishment thought him a little “below the salt”. He shouted at her the way he shouted at others, and according to the biographer Sarah Bradford she was not averse to telling him: “Oh Philip. George VI was dismayed his daughter wanted to marry the first man she had met and thought her too young. Her brother, David Bowes-Lyon, dismissed him as “a German”. On a state visit to Australia in 1954, a cameraman waiting outside the royal couple’s chalet to film the Queen looking at koalas and kangaroos had his camera rolling when the door was flung open and Philip came flying out, quickly followed by a pair of tennis shoes and a racket. Now what would you like me to do?” The cameraman exposed the film and handed it over to her press secretary. “But he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know.” You were quite right, he was going much too fast.” To which she replied: “But you heard what he said.”

A look back at the remarkable love story of Queen Elizabeth II and ... (CBS News)

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were married for 73 years – the longest marriage in British royal history.

He was known as Prince Edward until he married his wife Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999, at which point they were named the Earl and Countess of Wessex. In one of their final major acts together, the couple got Charles went on to famously wed, and then divorce, the late Princess Diana, and eventually married Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, in 2005. Andrew has been widely criticized in recent years for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and has been accused by Virginia Roberts Giuffre of sexually abusing her when she was 17. The couple had their second child and only daughter, Anne, in 1950. He and his parents — Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg — were exiled when Andrew was accused of treason. According to Brown, he proposed to her at Balmoral Castle — the same royal estate in Scotland where the queen died on Thursday. Elizabeth's dress was designed especially for the occasion, but because of ongoing World War II rationing measures, she had to use clothing ration coupons to pay for it. But the royal family clearly came around, because just four months later, a royal wedding was held on November 20, 1947, at London's Westminster Abbey. The couple was engaged just eight years later, with an official announcement made on July 9, 1947, according to the royal family's website. Philip was 13 and Elizabeth was just eight years old. Their story began when they were just children and lasted until April 9, 2021, the day Philip died.

It was decorated with crystals and 10,000 seed pearls, all imported from the United States of America. [Prince Philip: Revealed](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prince-Philip-Portrait-Duke-Edinburgh/dp/1471183521?&linkCode=ll1&tag=generic-november-21&linkId=d1195b5411ad3ddfd3773efacc3624b9&language=en_GB&ref_=as_li_ss_tl), explained: "She never takes it off and inside the ring is an inscription. The story goes that Princess Alice received a tiara as a wedding gift from her aunt Tsarina Alexandra of Russia and Tsar Nicholas II. Her Majesty’s engagement ring features a brilliant-cut stone which has been estimated at 3 carats and it is flanked by smaller pavé diamonds. No one knows what it says, other than the engraver, the Queen and her husband."
