It was in London, England in 1939. A 13-year-old girl named Lily Bette came to visit the Naval School in Dartmouth, England, accompanied by her parents. Here she met her only ten years old. Eight-year-old cousin Philip.

It was in London, England in 1939. At that time, a 13-year-old girl named Lilybet accompanied by her parents to visit the Naval School in Dartmouth, England. She met her here The cousin Phillip , who is only eighteen years old. Philip was young and handsome at that time, and he was very good at sports. He first took his cousins ​​to play croquet and tennis, and then he drove away from Dartmouth on the boat "Victoria and Albert" with his parents. Rowing a boat with you. His agile skills and upright posture immediately attracted the attention of Lilibet, who was in his prime.

Since then, Lily Bett has also admitted many times: since the day she first met her cousin when she was thirteen years old, she has inevitably fallen in love with him.

Eight years later, in 1947, Lily Bett, who was in her early twenties, finally got his wish and entered the palace of marriage with the person she fell in love with when she was thirteen. Lilybet and Philip were never separated again. Until Philip died on April 9, 2021, they had been with him for 174 spring, autumn, winter and summer. And this Lily Bette is the Queen Elizabeth II of England who just died not long ago. Her husband is the famous Prince Philip .

It should be noted here that Prince Philip's grandmother is the great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, so in theory, Philip and Elizabeth are actually cousins.

Prince Philip (June 10, 1921-April 9, 2021), full name Philip Mountbatten , is the grandson of Greek King George I , Prince Andreas son. Although Philip is theoretically a Greek prince, since he left Greece with his father Prince Andreas's mother Prince Alice and four sisters when he was one year old, this " Prince " has actually been It can be said that it is in name only, especially his father, who is not caring about his family at all. The young Philip has actually tasted the taste of wandering around.

It can be said that it is precisely because of meeting Queen Elizabeth that Philip has a new home.

In theory, Philip, who finally had a good wife, should repay his kindness and cherish Elizabeth very much. But unexpectedly, in the more than 70 years of marriage between the two, Philip's girlfriends outside were as high as and thirty people.

More than these

even Queen Elizabeth had just conceived their son - later Prince Charles (Honey of Diana ), the young Prince Philip, who was at the time, was with a name Pat Kirk Wood 's opera actresses come together. Pat, born in 1921, is the same age as the Prince. She started working in literary and artistic work at the age of 14, and then performed stage plays, operas, dramas, TV and movies, and became a household actress in the UK for a time.

It is reported that one night, 27-year-old Philip and his friend Barron watched the musical "Starlight Roof" starring Pat, and then invited him to She had dinner together. At this time, Philip may have forgotten that Elizabeth at home is still eight months pregnant!

But when it comes to Prince Philip's most well-known girlfriend, it must be Penny Romsey . Penny has been with Philip since he met at the age of 22 and 55, and even after Penny got married. It is worth mentioning that when Penny got married, Philip attended the wedding as his best man!

From 1975 to 2021, Penny and Philip will meet frequently, and Penny even attended Prince Philip's funeral.

It is worth mentioning that Prince Philip's girlfriend actually includes Queen Elizabeth's cousin Princess Alexandra . I have to say that Prince Philip is indeed a bit of that...

Of course, Philip has so many girlfriends here. During her 96 years of life, the Queen also has two memorable confidants.

The queen's first blue confidante is called Patrick Planck . This person has been guarding the queen for 25 years and has never been married for life.

This Planck met the Queen much earlier than Philip. His father was the old friend of King George VI. In 1952, Elizabeth officially became the Queen of , and Planck, who was 26 years old, became the Queen's guard .

We know that since Philip was indeed a little "busy" after marrying the Queen, Planck's company did comfort the queen's loneliness well when Philip was away. For example, at some parties, when Philip dances with other ladies, Planck often takes the initiative to invite the queen to dance with her.

is always behind you

It’s a pity that this Planck failed to live as long as the queen and her husband, and passed away just after living to the age of 51. It is said that the queen was very sad at that time. Not only did she hold a large funeral for her, she also built a memorial for her after her death. It is said that whenever the queen encounters any adversity, she will always go here alone to chat with her former confidante.

In addition to Patrick Planck, the queen also has a blue confidante, whose name is Henry Herbert .

relative to Planck's hope for Queen Elizabeth. Henry, who was born with a brilliant background, was actually more likely to be the one who would accompany the queen for the rest of his life. We know that Elizabeth grew up in Windsor Castle in London, and next to Windsor Castle is an Highcler Castle . You must have watched or heard of the well-known British TV series " Downton Abbey ", and the filming location of this "Downton Abbey" is Henry's home - Heckler Castle.

Young Henry is indeed a bit like the characters in the play

When "Downton Abbey" was broadcast later, the queen would also watch it, and she would also comment on the plot very humorously, because she knows too much about her best friend's manor. They often played here when they were young, and knew every small corner here very well.

The two have consistent interests and hobbies, and they both like to watch horse racing and write letters. They are still very co-starring dance partners. It can be seen that the relationship between the two has long surpassed friendship. Even Princess Anne said that there are not many people who can call the queen at any time in , and Henry happens to be one of them.

But it was precisely because Henry's understanding of Elizabeth since childhood that he understood very well that the Queen had only Philip in her heart, so she automatically chose not to work hard to move forward, but stayed safely in her position where she should be At the top, I am willing to become the queen's confidante at any time.

After Elizabeth became queen in 1952, she appointed Henry, who loved horses, to take charge of the queen's horse farm. Of course, Henry accepted this job happily, because this job is not only his own hobby, but also has more intersections with the queen he admires. How could Henry not like this job?

The Queen also loved horses all her life

956, 32-year-old Henry finally tied the knot with a beautiful woman, and Elizabeth also became his child's godmother.

September 11, 2001 (this date is also...), Henry, who was 77 years old at the time, unfortunately passed away. He accompanied the queen through this period from youth to old age, and his death also made the queen very sad.

But whether it is Patrick Planck or Henry Herbert, their relationship with the Queen has always been a state of "more friendship than love, less than full lover". There is no behavior beyond the distance. They are more like an old friend relationship with the queen. The only one who loves in the heart of is Prince Philip. This has never happened since Lilybet was thirteen years old. Change until death.

At Prince Philip's funeral, the Queen of England wrote to her husband the note "I love you, your Lilibet"
