Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's love story - from meeting as youngsters to leading the Royal Family

Until his death in April last year, The Queen and Prince Philip shared 73 wonderful years of marriage together. Over the years, the Queen and her Consort welcomed four children, eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren, with an additional three born after the death of Prince Philip.

During his time by his wife's side as a working member of the Royal Family, Prince Philip became the longest-serving consort of any British monarch. Before he retired from royal duties in 2017, the former Prince of Denmark and Greece completed more than 22,000 solo engagements.

The love story that blossomed between the pair dates all the way back to the 1930s. The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, caught the eye of the Prince of Greece in the summer of 1939, when she was just 13 years old and he was 18.
