Years go by, life is long, "holding your hand and growing old with you" has always been people's best wishes and longings for love and marriage. At this point, the British Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip were examples. The two concluded a relationship on November 20, 1947. Since then, they have been together through thick and thin, never leaving each other, and have been with each other for nearly 72 years.
Prince Philip was originally a noble Greek prince and Elizabeth's third representative brother. On August 9 this year, an article in the British Express reported the love story between the two. Historian and biographer Robert Lacey recalled the scene back then: it was in 1939, when Elizabeth was a 13-year-old girl, and she followed her father, George VI, to visit the Dalymouth Naval Academy. It happened that 18-year-old Philip was a student there and was ordered to receive George father and daughter.
The tall and handsome Prince Philip made Elizabeth fall in love at first sight. She silently believed that she would marry this handsome and handsome man in the future. After the spark of love burst out, the two began to pass on long letters from Hongyan. In 1946, when Elizabeth turned 20, Philip, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to ask George VI for his daughter to marry him. The following year, the lovers got engaged and had a grand wedding on November 20.
In order to marry Elizabeth, Prince Philip willingly gave up the right to inherit the throne, and even gave up his nationality, surname and religious belief. He used the diamonds on his mother's crown to create an exquisite and solid wedding ring for Elizabeth. This wedding ring has been worn on the queen's hand. In this black and white photo of the past, Elizabeth smiles like a flower and looks happy. From the way she stares at her husband, we know that she is indeed married to love.
Now, Elizabeth II is already an old lady at the age of 93. The 98-year-old Prince Philip is already old and no longer as handsome and elegant as before. However, Elizabeth's eyes staring at her husband were full of admiration and enthusiasm, exactly the same as before. I wish this loving couple and the old birthday star!
