Their first publicized meeting in 1939 when Philip was 18 and Princess Elizabeth was 13.
The princess’s parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, had taken her and her sister, Princess Margaret, to visit the naval college in Dartmouth and cadet Philip was assigned to entertain the princesses.
And it was a tall, blond, athletic Philip caught the princess’s eye during their Dartmouth trip where he captured her attention by jumping over tennis nets.
The pair wrote regular letters to one another and later met on numerous occasions, with Philip even spending Christmas with the royal family during the Second World War.
The duke fought for Britain in the Royal Navy and was in Tokyo Bay as the Japanese surrendered in 1945.
A couple of years later, Philip and Elizabeth’s engagement was announced, in July 1947, and the grand royal wedding took place on November 20, 1947 in London’s Westminster Abbey.
