The Story Behind Queen Elizabeth II’s Marriage

- The marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip is the longest of any British sovereign. They are together more than 70 years already.
They knew each other from childhood. In fact, Elizabeth and Philip are cousins. They are great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria. They have met for the first time when she was 8 years old and he was 13.
Elizabeth fell in love with Philip 5 years later. It was their second meeting. Elizabeth visited the British naval academy and Philip was training there. He was her tour-guide. Philip was charming and confident. But the young man didn’t pay her any special attention as she was too young.
They’ve started corresponding but for Philip that was just friendship. Princess kept a photo of Philip by her bed. The courtship seriously started after WWII. Philip wasn’t the best match for the future Queen. He was the prince of Greece and Denmark. But his family was exiled from Greece and had no fortune or lands.
Nevertheless, they engaged when Elizabeth was 20. Her father King George VI asked to keep relationships in secret until Elizabeth’s 21 birthday. The king and his wife worried that their daughter was too young to marry. They also didn’t like Philip - he was called a bit rough. But the two never wavered and they married in November 1947. To marry Elizabeth Philip had to give up the royal titles of his birth.
The first years after the wedding were relatively normal for them. Prince Philip was stationed in Malta with the Royal Navy. Elizabeth lived the life of naval wife: she went shopping, sightseeing, and gossiped. King George VI died when Elizabeth was 25 years old. She was coronated in 1953 and Philip was the first to swear allegiance to the new queen. After a few years, she granted him the title of a Prince of the United Kingdom. He became a consort of the queen. Elizabeth and Philip have four children, 8 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren.

I thought it was normal for people in the 40s to marry in their early 20s. I was surprised to hear that her parents thought she was too young to marry at that age.
Haley Padour they are royals which means more is expected from them thus she was next line to the throne. As for commoners back then it was normal for them
Haley Padour
IKR my aunt is still a teenager!
And nowadays 14 yo got pregnant
@@HaleyNicole11 even a 5 YO in 1930s....
Maybe that time she was still pursuing career.
You can tell, Elizabeth is so happy whenever shes with him.
merlin Green she on drugs lol wtf her cousin ewww
@@zuliettearencibia6615 distant cousin. They share the same great great grandmother.
ninectstay_1205 still her cousin but I see why you think distance doesn't matter y'all weird
@@naptuallylexi1536 nah, you're just sensitive😂 it's a distant relative, so meaning to say they would've just shared like a little percent of the same dna😂
@@naptuallylexi1536 You're insulting all of Iceland lol. We're talking about royals here, basically every royals in Europe are at some point from the same family.
*they’ve known each other since they were children* aww that’s cute!!
*in fact, they are cousin!*
Aw- wait, WHAT?!
Rachhlaur 😂😂😂😂
Just disgusting 🤣😭
😂🤷🏻♀️
Distant cousins, not first cousins
🤣🤣🤣🤣

May GOD bless them whith good health an strength
For now generation is seems strange , girl this is how relationship suppose to be ,,, once comment stay commented untill death , not like changing partners every few years
I'm your 70th like!
❤️
I know right? Oof what if one of them lost themselves, that would be saaaaaad
Prince Philip was handsome when he was young 😍😍
Ikr !!!
Shut up
Now he is drying up and alone in a nursing room at Liza's castle!
He got the looks but his hairline tho lol
I feel he was handsome only in cap.. without cap no.
Poor princess Margaret..couldn’t have a happy life like her sister
I feel bad, they I think they most loved Queen Elizabeth II Princess margaret was having a poor life, and miserable while
Her sister is having fun time. But Margaret is twins with Elizabeth But margaret looks so pretty when she was so young. 😀
I won’t compare Margaret’s life to her sister’s because they have different struggles in life. But I think Margaret made some poor decisions, especially when it comes to love.
@@michellegarcia7299 one day very young Elisabeth told Margaret “I’m going to be a queen” and Margaret said “poor you”
Awww Queen Elizabeth was so in love with prince Phillip.God Please I want to grow old like this with the love of my life🥰
Marry your cousin?
nash snail no thanks
good luck with your cousin
What excuse all the affairs
They’re Super lucky to still have each other. I love old married couples. I always think ‘what stories they have and lessons to teach’
true dat
Such a condescending remark.
Bull shit they no longer live together
Even if they didn't marry they still have each other cause they are cousins 😂😅
once I wrote a letter to her majesty the queen Elizabeth 2nd & she thanked me with a letter ! that was very exciting for me.love for you all from Bangladesh.thanks
@Hasan Foyejul: Really?!Are you an ordinary person? Lucky you!😃👸👑👏❗Wishes from a nonroyal...!🤗

They can't see the wood for the trees ignorance is bliss there is none so blind than those that will not see come down from your ivory tower etc etc not u my friend them x
@@brendadrumm9708 what????
Are your in laws cousins?
The Crown has painted Philip in an interesting light, being both insecure and jealous of his wife being put first as Britain’s Queen, but also as complex in his troubled past and a mix of modern idealism and traditionalist views clashing, yet one thing is for sure: he loves his wife. And she loves him. The warmth and fondness when they look at one another in these photos is so touching.
You can still see that youthful young lady looking up at her husband , beautiful
You mean her cousin😂
4:03 i really love this pic. It's some kind aesthetic to me. Love eyes
@@Jag5nine let it go she was happy
Amazing how much two people can love and respect each other for so long. 70+ years of marriage can show people what makes a marriage strong.
....Elizabeth married Phillip for love ❤️ ❤
For every cigarette u smoke, God takes 10 seconds of ur life and gives it to Elizabeth.
Wow u just gave me an idea for an anti smoke ad omgg ur a genius lol jajaa
I'm dying
Who is here after Phillip's death? I get so emotional about it i dont know why... i wish Elizabeth to live longer
Me. I am here after his death.
She must be so sad. That man was her rock, for real
I’m here after the queens death..
@@Biyav this is devastating
@@callmekhaleesi ikr 😞
people keep saying "wow the queen made it so far" they forget prince phillip is older than her
This is amazing for them to be married for so long and still have each other.This is very inspiring and beautiful!
Prince Phillip was a handsome man and he is still handsome to this day the queen is lucky to have him this long god bless his 98 years on earth pray he has many more with the queen 😊😊♥️

People in the comment section saying it's weird they were cousins. It was pretty normal back in the day.
@Alfonso di Adermassi 3rd 4th generation cousins I believe. They are related to queen Victoria. Tho, in the end it my still seem weird
@@Theo-bk6qj still it is normal .... Albert Einstein also married his cousin...
They are third cousins.... Not Even closely blood related
It was normal in royal families for cousins to marry. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were cousins.
Still is normal , Christian , jews and muslims do marry off their cousins. Even south indian hindus marry their cousins and even their maternal uncles
Queen : i live when hitler still around
Also queen : and when trump around too
And i married my cousin too
Hhhh
Are we all ignoring the fact that they’re cousins or???
Nearly Every Royal in Europe at the time was a descendant of Queen Victoria. It was damn near unavoidable.
It's weird
Iws
I was really freaked out by the fact that they are cousins
they were far cousins at before it was in the law that royal blood can marry only with the royal blood
Pls make the "story behind the person" who makes "the story behind"videos
It is not necessary, IMHO.
😂😂
@@user-rr4to6xl3m I wanna know
True
LMAO There’s always that one person. 😂✌️
Rest in peace your royal Highness duke of Edinburgh. He was such a support to our queen. I can’t imagine how she feels right now.
Princess Charlotte looks exactly like Queen Elizabeth😊
Night Owl cuz they cousins 😂🤣
Zuliette Arencibia no queen elizabeth is her great great grandma
@@zuliettearencibia6615 lol princess charlotte is her great granddaughter, they're not cousins.
2:33 Prince William resembles his grandfather...same side pose...hair style...features
That's exactly what I said!!!
"They have been married for 70 years".
Aww that's sweet.
"They are related to each other".
Excuse me?
DISTANT cousin
We're actually related to each other 😌
@@pipicute615
?
Tasnia Maysha distant are not, they share a 2 times great grandmother (queen Victoria)
@@tashathama2451 actually alot closer they are like second cousins
Who is here after he passed away. May his soul rests in peace.
I love how The Queen set eyes on the prize and she got him! Well done, Elizabeth
Amazing,when they got married in 1947, India got the independence in same year 1947,I am surprised
pakistan too, not just india.
What is it with the royal family and dating cousins??? 😂😂
it's a usual thing back then
It was usual back then becuz Royal family didn't wanted different blood in their family so they married in same blood line
Oh ok
@@stardust6745 nasty
Agata Vlogs 😂Charles proposed to his Mountbatten cousin but was rejected. She knew about Camilla. Hence Princess Diane🤭
I'm here after I heard Prince Philip's passing. Such a fruitful relationship that lasted for 70 years...
Emilia Clarke and Elizabeth II have a similar vibrance.
I think they have.. especially when seeing it in The Crown by Netflix
Today the Queen has gone to be with her Prince...R.I.P. 😢💝
What a beautiful couple..just like a fairy tale happily ever after till 9th April 2021. Our gen needs to learn from them..their bonding, their relationship 😍
She so so so so lucky.. Rich. Royal family.. Loyal husband.. Good children ...what else she dont have in this world?
A vacation
Good relationship with sibling?
Normal life
Loyal my ass. He cheated on her many times.
Philip was a typical example of a great and loving Husband
I love Queen Elizabeth and her happiness with Prince Philip. Wonderful couple, parents, grandparents and great grandparents. 💜
Here the day after philip died
Rip
Before there had been rumors that Prince Philip had affairs or at least 1 affair, but until now they're still together they must've been really committed to stay that long. If you see many couples around the world although many didn't go thru divorce but are separated, they don't last a lifetime.
How do they have affairs if they are so well known wouldn't others recognise them? Then most probably they are doing it with someone form palace maybe their servants? Hmm...
@@kh2661 ..... There's always some bitch trying to have what doesn't belong to her. He was a nice looking man. The same women who are friends with Elizabeth are the same ones who will sneak around with the prince. Look at Prince William. He had an affair with Kate's best friend!! Kate cut off all friendship with her bestie!!! Men get easily bored and easily seduced. They are so weak!!!!
They both looked at each other the same up until the last picture together...i can tell that they really love each other...
As I'm re-watching the video, I remembered that Prince Philip passed away 7 months ago 😢
I really really admire their marriage and most of all their love for each other a lot - from Philippines here 😊💕♥️🤚
And now youtube is recommending me this... What a lovely marriage
The story of their lives...beautiful story..real fairy tale..of one queen and her prince...♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇭🇷and she was beautful..still is..i havent seen someone so old and lovely as she is...look her face .and dont forget she is 94...
Had you waiting just one more day to post this, you could've written that Queen Elizabeth has 8 great-grandchildren!!!
Archie 😍💙
I notice a lot of their pictures together, prince Philip always look at her lovingly.
Beautiful couple. They spent their love story to the fullest.
"He has, quite simplyb, been my strength and stay all these years"
I'D LIKE TO BE A QUEEN OF PEOPLE'S HEART'S. Everyone is a queen 👸👸
@Red Captain king and queen para madali 😂
This is a nice story. They stick to each other through thick and thin. Thank you. To God, I'm thankful.
I strongly believe that he never loved her the way she do
Even I thought the same
So why did he stay for 70 years?
I believe once they are both in heaven a tell all book will come out regarding his female escapades and I understand there were many, sad for the Queen and unfortunate as well.
Same
@@heemi5793 he had no other option. Divorce isn't a option for the Queen. It is known that he has cheated on her more than once
Wow!!what a life it was for both,They lived for 74 yrs togetherly and that is just awesome..
Rip Prince Phillips😢
He is polite man..
Did anyone else know that one time the Queen was chasing Prince Philip and threw a badminton racquet to the Prince and the media saw it outside and recorded it but they destroyed the video.
It was their great love how nice that they were married for over seventy years i have to say he really was a handsome man with character may they bost Rest in Peace together in heaven.
RIP QUEEN ELIZABETH II 🤲😔😭
She fell first for him ..but he fell harder ❤️
rip philip🕊🥺
Now this is true live, they still look at eachother the same.
Rip prince Philip 1921-2021 😢🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is true strength and character. This is why I love Her Royal Majesty the Queen and Prince her husband. I'm divorced but she's still with her true love. What an honor and grace and triumph. Long live the Queen....
They have been together for like my grandma’s whole lifetime wowie there must be an unstoppable love here
The queen is so cute ,her smile so pure and honest ❤
Amazing , beautiful they are still alive and experiencing life together , watching it grow with new members are added. I am very sure they love and cling to each other in private to make each moment as if was their first God bless them both.
Soon as I read “In fact, they are cousins!” I had to opt out. Nah fam 😂😂😂😂🤙🏽
I think the reason why she stay healthy now is because of him. I can't imagine if Prince Philip die 😔
And it just happen now 🙁
And it just happen now 🙁
Watching this video after Queen's husband death !!
RIP PRINCE PHILLIP 🌿
They lost me at “cousins” part wtf.
Same...
*Laughs in muslim*
Nádherný dokument ze života plný lásky a vzájemné úcty,smutek sdílíme s vámi...❤️❤️❤️❤️
i hoped every man would be like prince philip... very supportive of her wife
Young Phillip was so handsome with his hair rough and up, that one photo I saw of it he looked so dashing with his hair out and up lol. Plus I didn't know the Queen wore strapless and halter necks when she was young. I thought it was forbidden of royals.
Queen Elizabeth's smile when she is with other people are way different to the smile she is giving when she is with King Philip
Okay but Philip has always been freakin attractive and handsome
The Royal Family treated him like shit but they forget his mom was born in Windsor Castle
My sorrows to Prince Philip's pass-away 🙏🏻❤️ RIP
I love Her Majesty! What an inspirational lady and such a great asset to our country.
"Princess kept a photo of Philip by her bed." 😭 lol what
When she was constipated
@@brendadrumm9708 what 😭

What a lovely couple!!❤❤💗
Georgia Carter they are cousin btw
@@arceerosetv so
Wow 70 yrs of marriage. How awesome!
0:24 it looked like she winked😅
I don't understand why people say it's not good to marry your cousin.I mean common guys we all are the descendents of two human beings.
I am from India.... British has ruled in our land .... Around 200 years.... they destroyed everything in India... they use produce grain and other product.. they do business marketing in the world.... the money that India deserves they used to spend in their....after 200 years of struggle we got independence.... so I don't think this video really affected me in a good way because in 1947 queen Elizabeth got married in the same year India also got its independence..... we were struggling, sexual harassing, murdered and they were enjoying and springing love.... they also have our precious diamond "KOHINOOR" and it's still there... very bad
Nabanita Acharjee The India still under of Queen’s rein my dear....you have formally veiled Independence....all your PM are Queen’s people...The stage of your country are suits her...Look at other Commonwealth countries, the level they live....same or even less....everything under of control...
That's really bad.... Why we Indians always been dominated by others??
Ya really
Such a beautiful love story, was meant to be.
RIP Prince Philip
How I wish to have someone like Prince Philip in the future
He cheated
Take your cousin
Prince Philip has looked the same for soooo long
I think they're 3rd cousins, if I'm remebering it right haha As always, great and aaawwesome content! 💕💕
Aren't they still related by blood tho..?
4rd
He's super attractive at 2:43
RIP Prince Phillip😢
No she first met Prince Phillip in 1939 when she was 13 he was 18 and at Dartmouth royal navy and he was asked to look after the princesses
Also, Charles and Diana were/are cousins too... they keep it in the blood line.
I wonder what is the title of the song at 1:05
She thought she will remain forever married but everything has an end
So beautifully made thank you for sharing 😘🥰 really enjoyed watching this💖
My mother always said ,she was plain,but her parent's was very must in love.
