Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip have a marriage meant for the history books—not because of their royal status, but because of their unceasing love that has breezed through 7 decades. The royal couple celebrated their 70th anniversary last November 20, making them the longest-married couple in British royal history.
In line with this year’s big celebration, we proudly present to you snapshots from the royal couple’s 70 years of love.
As we say this, there are tears in our eyes. Keep a handkerchief within arm’s reach, because you may need it later on.
