Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip celebrate 73rd wedding anniversary with a nod to early days of marriage


Britain's Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary on Friday, an occasion they will be unable to share with their family as England is currently under a coronavirus lockdown. Elizabeth, 94, and Philip, 99, married in London’s Westminster Abbey on Nov. 20, 1947, just two years after the end of World War Two. The picture was taken at Windsor Castle, the queen's home west of London where the couple is staying during the lockdown. The couple first met when they attended the wedding of Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece, to Elizabeth's uncle, the Duke of Kent, in 1934. "He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years," Elizabeth said when the couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1997
