I found some wonderful black and white photos of the wedding of QE II on Getty Images and I want to share them with everyone.
Princess Elizabeth enters Westminister Abbey on the arm of her father, King George VI. The detail in the picture is not that great :( Princess Elizabeth and her father, King George VI, are surrounded by bridesmaids as they arrange Princess Elizabeth's veil and train before they walk down the aisle of Westminister Abbey. Princess Elizabeth's bridal sandals - they are made with duchesse satin with silver buckles studded with small pearls. Last edited by Anna_R; 06-11-2006 at 08:20 PM. Reason: merged |

I have always loved her train; I think it's one of my favorites.
I was trying to remember this story, but I'm not sure if I have it all correctly. Didn't some commoners give up their rations from the war to help make Elizabeth's dress?

I think that the offers were turned down because it wasn't possible to accept them (it was illegal or something).
However, the government increased Elizabeth's rations so she could have a dress fit for a princess.

Here is a fine picture of Princess Elizabeth and Lt Mountbatten. You can see the wonderful detail of the dress very well here.

Some sources say Elizabeth was 13, Philip 18, when the royal family was visiting the naval academy (Dartmouth, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong). Others will say it was years earlier when Princess Marina of Greece married one of Elizabeth's uncles (George, Duke of Kent) in 1934. I believe that it's the first, as Elizabeth would have been only 8 at George and Marina's wedding.

It's always been listed in the "official" bios that she fell for him in 1939 at that visit to Dartmouth.
Her dad didn't want her to marry so young, and, according to some bios, thought Philip was uncouth, impoverished and poorly dressed. Her mother also thought she was too young. They wanted her to have a bit more fun before settling down because the years she would have been out having fun occurred during the war and recovery period.

Fifty-nine years is quite an accomplishment!
They have certainly had their share of ups and downs over the years but to have endured as long as they have together is noteworthy in my opinion. Congratulations to them both.
