EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a blissful moment from the honeymoon of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, following their fairytale wedding at Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947. The newlyweds, dressed in casual attire, are seen enjoying a leisurely stroll hand in hand at Birkhall, their idyllic retreat on the Balmoral estate in Scotland. Birkhall, a charming residence nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands, was chosen by the couple as the perfect destination for the second part of their honeymoon. The tranquil setting provided a welcome respite from the grandeur and pomp of the royal wedding celebrations, allowing the newly-married couple to savor their newfound love and happiness in private. The image, taken in 1947, captures the young couple in a tender embrace, their faces reflecting the joy and contentment of their new life together. The serene surroundings of Birkhall, with its picturesque gardens and stunning views of the countryside, serve as the perfect backdrop to this heartwarming scene. The royal honeymoon at Birkhall marked the beginning of a long and loving partnership between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, a partnership that would endure for over seven decades and produce four children, eight grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. This photograph stands as a testament to the deep bond they shared and the happiness they found in each other's company, a happiness that continues to inspire and captivate the world to this day.
