The Queen married Prince Philip in Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. Phillip, a prince of Greece and Denmark, was created Duke of Edinburgh shortly before their marriage. At the time of their wedding, Philip was 26 and Elizabeth was 21.

How Elizabeth and Philip Met: Philip and Elizabeth met in 1934 when Elizabeth was 13 years old at the wedding of Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece. It was love at first sight for Elizabeth and she started writing letters to Philip. The first photograph of the couple together was taken in 1939. Philip, whose family was exiled from Greece, served in the Royal Navy during World War II.

They became secretly engaged in 1946. Because of her age, her family at first opposed her marriage to Philip, but relented. Their engagement was officially announced on July 9, 1947. Her platinum engagement ring had a large square diamond with smaller diamonds on either side. The diamonds came from Philip's mother's tiara.
