How Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip met
The story of how Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip met. 8 year old Lilibeth, as she was called at home, and 13-year-old Philip first saw each other on 29 November 1934 at the wedding of her uncle, the Duke of Kent, to Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece. But the friendship between the young people developed later when King George the Sixth and his daughters came to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth, where Philip was studying. At the time he was 18 and Elizabeth was 13. According to various accounts, the princess fell in love with the statuesque young man immediately, and a correspondence began between them. When, after the war, Philip asked George for his daughter's hand, the king agreed, but set a condition - to wait until Elizabeth's majority. During this time, the groom had time to convert to Anglicanism, to give up the title of "Prince of Greece and Denmark", as well as to accept British citizenship and his mother's surname, which in English sounded Mountbatten.

@@sookibeulah9331actually the affairs were all just rumours. Gyles Brandreth who has written at least 3 autobiographies for the late Queen and Prince Philip did a lot of research as well as interviewing Prince Philip directly, and came to the conclusion the rumours were not true and he had been faithful to the Queen throughout their marriage. I think the press were basically needing stories. There's so many rumours about another couple (I won't say because I don't want to add to the untrue gossip) that have been proven to be false. It's just the media. Need to take it with a grain of salt, they have papers to sell. From another point of view, you could see the absolute grief and devastation of the Queen at Prince Philip's funeral, I doubt that would be the case, particularly to that extent if he had been unfaithful. She also did not outlive him very long, as seems to be the case with most genuinely loving elderly couples. When my Grandma sadly passed away, my Grandpa was completely independent, healthy and living in his own home. He only outlived her by 3 years. It's very sad.

His family lived in exile, and Mountbatten is the one who orchestrated the relationship. There is an interesting program/ movie covering their relationship, and yes Prince Phillip gave up a lot of his heritage ( name , religion, rank) for the women he loved.
Prince Philip is very handsome man. Their love is an example of love that stood strong and steadfast.

You and me both, girl! He was breathtakingly handsome and so manly and virile! He never lost his looks, either. He hated giving up polo because of his injury, and he took up carriage driving in his later years. He also dated a lot before he and HMQEll were engaged and all the ladies whom he took out said he was a perfect gentleman, very intelligent, and had a great sense of humor. The queen never looked at another man and I don't blame her!!

They were both young. They met and fell in love. They were together their whole lives because they loved each other and understood what promises and commitment means.

It's strange to match up at a family gathering to a family member. I guess normal for back in those days but ew. I can't imagine.
The royal family was against this marriage as they considered him poor and not at all a fit for her. What ever made them change their mind and allow this marriage?

3rd cousins, a relationship so distant that many people don't even see them as relatives. I don't even know my 3rd cousins. Then, in the 40s, teenagers falling in love and wanting to get married before they were 20 were very common. And another very important factor is that kissing and sex, at least in the upper class, were exclusive after marriage. They practically only had a relationship through letters, at most they only had a simple kiss.
