Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle on Thursday, a year and half after her beloved husband Prince Philip's death in April 2021. The pair was married for 73 years, making them the longest-married couple in royal history.
Their decades-long romance endured through many difficult times for the royal family over the years, with the monarch once referring to her spouse as "my strength and stay." Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday at the age of 96, shared a decades-long romance with her late husband Prince Philip. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant, File) The couple first met at a wedding when Queen Elizabeth was 7-years-old and Prince Philip was 12. However, it was when they encountered each again five years later in 1939 at the Royal Naval College that their romance began to blossom. After Prince Philip left to serve in World War II, the two began to exchange letters.
Upon his return from the war in 1943, he began to court the then-princess with the intention of marriage. Though her parents King George VI and Queen Consort Elizabeth initially had their doubts about the union due to her young age, they eventually gave their blessing.
The two became secretly engaged in 1946 but at the king's request, they delayed announcing their formal engagement until after Queen Elizabeth's 21st birthday the following April. Their engagement was announced in July 1947 and the couple wed on November 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey in London. "She fell in love, and she never looked at anyone else," biographer Sally Bedell Smith previously said of Elizabeth. The pair was married for 73 years, making them the longest-married couple in royal history.
