EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, later to become the Duke of Edinburgh and the consort of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, announced his engagement to Princess Elizabeth on 9 July 1947. At the tender age of 26, Philip, dressed in his military uniform, stood confidently before the press, his radiant fiancée by his side. The announcement marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership and a new era for the British monarchy. The young couple's engagement was met with widespread excitement and anticipation, as the world looked forward to the wedding of the future king and queen. This poignant image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, captures the joy, hope, and promise of a new beginning for the royal family and the nation.
