EDITORS COMMENTS
: Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, 1947 This enchanting photograph captures the moment of love and devotion between Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, as they exchanged their vows on November 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey. The image, titled "One Mutual Happiness," reflects the sentiments of the people of the United Kingdom, the Dominions, and the Commonwealth, who eagerly celebrated the union of their future monarch and her husband. The words "Our day of marriage shall be yours: one feast, one house, one mutual happiness" inscribed on the photograph, are a poignant quote from William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," encapsulating the shared joy and unity that the wedding brought to the nation. The romantic sentiment resonated deeply with the public, who saw in the young couple a symbol of hope and renewal in the aftermath of the Second World War. Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, and her husband, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, later known as the Duke of Edinburgh, were married in a grand ceremony attended by hundreds of guests and millions of people around the world. Their union marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership and a new era in British monarchy, one that would be filled with love, dedication, and mutual happiness. The photograph, taken in the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey, serves as a testament to the enduring power of love and the deep connection between the British people and their monarchy. It is a poignant reminder of a historic moment in time, when the promise of a new beginning was shared by all.
