Queen Elizabeth "Flushed Scarlet" Following One Comment From Prince Philip, According to Royal Biographer

Queen Elizabeth II wears a bright pink suit with matching hat and Prince Philip smirks during The Patron's Lunch celebrations for The Queen's 90th birthday at The Mall on June 12, 2016.

Queen Elizabeth's love story with Prince Philip is one for the ages. The pair tied the knot on November 20, 1947, and remained married until Prince Philip's death on April 9, 2021. And according to those who knew the couple, there was heat between them throughout their long marriage.

According to royal author Ian Lloyd, in his book The Queen: 70 Chapters in the Life of Queen Elizabeth II, "The Queen lit up when [Prince Philip] was around, when he walked into a room or when he paid her a compliment." Basically, the couple stayed very much in love through the decades.
