The relationship between Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II began when they were young and the queen was still a princess. At the age of 13, while following her family to visit the Royal Naval Academy Britannica, Princess Elizabeth that day immediately fell in love with Greek Prince Philip, who was training officers there. In the years that followed and during World War II, they corresponded. Not long after the war ended, Prince Philip proposed to Princess Elizabeth in Scotland. The engagement ring was made by Philip Antrobus, a London jeweler, crafted from diamonds on the prince’s mother’s crown. However, the engagement was kept private until the princess turned 21 at the request of King George VI, the princess’s father, who ruled England at that time. In addition, in order to marry Princess Elizabeth, Prince Philip had to give up his title of Greek Prince in order to become a British citizen. After much trouble, the wedding was scheduled on November 20, 1947 and took place at Westminster Abbey. Instead of holding a grand event, King George VI ordered a wedding as compact as possible so as not to offend the people by the new country that has gone through the war. The princess’s wedding dress was designed by Norman Hartnell, made from ivory silk, satin duchesse and silver thread, with crystal and 10,000 pearl beads, with a veil longer than 4.5 meters. The dress is completed in 7 weeks by 350 skilled tailors. Like many brides at the time, Princess Elizabeth had to save on stamps in order to buy materials for her wedding dress design. The British government has sent an additional 200 stamps to help her. Princess Elizabeth’s wedding day crown is named Queen Mary Fringe Tiara. It was originally a wedding gift in 1893 of Queen Mary, the princess. In addition, the bride is adorned with 2 pearl bracelets, one of which is said to belong to Queen Anne. Princess Elizabeth’s wedding bouquet is similar to every British royal bride’s wedding bouquet – they contain myrtle flowers from the myrtle bushes planted by Queen Victoria. This flower also appears on the seats in the reception reception at Buckingham Palace, next to the bouquet of white and pink carnations on the banquet table. Because this is the wedding of the future queen, the wedding is reported directly to millions of people via radio. Nearly 2,000 guests attended this historic wedding, including the King of Iraq, Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxembourg and Princess Elisabeth of Luxembourg. Two wedding rings are made from a block of gold in the Clogau St David mine. According to British royal biographer Ingrid Seward, Duke Philip engraved a secret message into the ring given to his wife that only the person who engraved them, he and Princess Elizabeth, knew the contents. After the ceremony was over, a reception was held at Buckingham Palace and was open to only 150 guests. Dishes served include Filet de Sole Mountbatten, Perdreau en Casserole and Bombe Glaceé Princess Elizabeth. Here, the couple cut wedding cake decorated elaborately weighing 227 kg, 2.7 m high with the groom’s sword. More than 10,000 people telegrams to celebrate the marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Duke Philip. 2,500 wedding gifts were sent from all over the world, including the cloth woven by Mahatma Gandhi himself. After the reception, the couple went to Waterloo Station with their corgi dog Susan to catch the train to Hampshire. They spent the wedding night in Broadlands, the hometown of Philip. The rest of the royal honeymoon takes place in Birkhall (Scotland).
