The 73rd anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's marriage ... "Philip is simply the source of my strength."
Friday marks the 73rd anniversary of the marriage of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip of Britain.
The Queen and her husband will not be able to celebrate this occasion with the rest of the family, due to the restrictions imposed by the Corona virus, as well as the imposition of general isolation by England to limit the spread of the Corona virus.
To celebrate the anniversary, Buckingham Palace posted a picture of the queen smiling as she and her husband looked at a congratulatory card from her grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, along with other cards and messages.
The photo was taken at Windsor Castle, the Queen's residence in west London, where the couple is staying during public isolation.
In a nod to their early days of marriage, Elizabeth wore a sapphire and diamond brooch that appeared in pics of her in Broadlands, southern England, during the first part of her honeymoon.
Queen Elizabeth had said when the couple celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in 1997: "It has been, quite simply, my source of strength all these years."
It is reported that Queen Elizabeth (94 years) and Prince Philip (99 years) had married in Westminster Abbey in London on November 20, 1947, just two years after the end of World War II.
The couple first met when they attended the wedding of Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece, to Elizabeth's uncle, Duke of Kent, in 1934.
