Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip first met as children at the future Duke and Duchess of Kent’s wedding in 1934. However, they didn’t have their first publicized meeting until 1939 — a meeting that prompted a seven-year courtship that involved plenty of letters. They got engaged secretly in 1946, and married on Nov. 20, 1947.
