Princess Elizabeth and Philip marriage
Nov. 20, 1947 - London, England, U.K. - The elder daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, ELIZABETH WINDSOR (named Elizabeth II) Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark) married on 20 November 1947. The wedding was seen as the first glimmer of hope in a post-war Commonwealth, and, though the royal couple received over 2, 500 wedding gifts from around the world, rationing required that the Princess save up her ration coupons to buy the material for her wedding dress.
