Both had royal blood coursing through their veins. The marriage of Britain's Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in November 1947 is remembered as the beginning of an extraordinary, lifelong union but success was not guaranteed. Elizabeth and Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy plunges us back into the 1940s when a teenage princess fell in love with a foreign prince. Cue fears of a flirtatious 'Greek' fortune hunter stealing off with Britain's crown jewel and Philip's supporters scrambling to reframe him as a good fit for the Royal Family. Drawing on original newspaper archives and the opinions of Elizabeth and Philip's contemporaries, historian Dr Tessa Dunlop discovers a post-war world on the cusp of major change. Unprecedented polling on Philip's suitability was a harbinger of pressures to come for a couple whose marriage was branded the ultimate global fairytale. Theirs was a partnership like no other. Six years after Elizabeth promised to be an obedient wife Philip got down on bended knee at the coronation and committed himself as the Queen's 'liege man of life and limb.' Published 75 years after their marriage, this deeply touching history explores the ups and downs, the public appeal and the private tensions that defined an extraordinary relationship. The high stakes involved might have devoured a less committed pair - but Elizabeth and Philip shared a common purpose, one higher even than marriage, with roots much deeper than young love. Happy and Glorious, for better or for worse, how did their union succeed? Monarchy was the magic word."-- $c Publisher's website. 600 00 $a Philip, $c Prince, consort of Elizabeth II, Queen of Great Britain, $d 1921-2021. 600 00 $a Elizabeth $b II, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1926-2022. 600 07 $a Elizabeth $b II, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1926-2022 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00061556 600 07 $a Philip, $c Prince, consort of Elizabeth II, Queen of Great Britain, $d 1921-2021 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00050161 650 0 $a Marriages of royalty and nobility $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Princes $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Queens $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Royal couples $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 7 $a Marriages of royalty and nobility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010652 650 7 $a Princes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01076481 650 7 $a Queens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085637 650 7 $a Royal couples. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100820 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Elizabeth II, 1952-2022. 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Kings and rulers $v Biography. 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022217.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20231121010754.0 952 $l PZPA094 $d 20231115010520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=763A7C44F15311ED9528572D34ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
