After meeting for the third time at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in July 1939, Elizabeth though only 13 years old. When she confessed her love to Philip, they began to exchange letters. When she was 21 they announced their engagement on 9 July 1947. And the engagement was not without controversy, Where Philip is not financially stable, he was a foreign-born though a British subject who had served in the Royal Navy throughout the Second World War, and had sisters who had married German noblemen. Some of the King’s advisors thought that he is not a good match for her. They think that He was a prince without a home or kingdom.
Some of the papers kept saying about his region and about his birth. Later biographies reported that Elizabeth’s mother had reservations about the union initially, and teased Philip as The Hun. In later life, however, they did not think him good enough for her e Queen Mother told biographer Tim Heald that Philip was “an English gentleman”.
Philip renounced his Greek and Danish titles, officially converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism, and adopted the style of Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, he took the surname of his mother’s British family. Shortly before the wedding, he was created Duke of Edinburgh and granted the style of His Royal Highness. Elizabeth and Philip were married on 20 November 1947 at Westminster Abbey. They received 2,500 wedding gifts from around the world.
Elizabeth required ration coupons to buy the material for her gown because Britain had not yet completely recovered from the devastation of the war. In post-war Britain, it was not acceptable for Philip’s German relations, including his three surviving sisters, to be invited to the wedding.
From 21 April 1944 until her accession, Elizabeth’s arms consisted of a lozenge bearing the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom differenced with a label of three points argent, the centre point bearing a Tudor rose and the first and third a cross of St George.
