Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s relationship was marked by love, respect, and enduring admiration. They first met in 1939 at Britannia Royal Naval College, where 18-year-old cadet Philip met 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth. They exchanged letters during the war, and their relationship blossomed upon Philip’s return in 1946. It is believed he proposed that June at Balmoral. Reflecting on this time, Philip wrote, “To have fallen in love completely and unreservedly makes all one’s personal and even the world’s troubles seem small and petty.”
