20 November 1947 | Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten

At seven o'clock on the morning of the wedding, John Dean (Prince Philip's valet) had tapped on the Duke of Edinburgh's bedroom door at Kensington Palace where he was staying and entered with his tea. ‘He woke at once and was plainly in great form, extremely cheerful and in no way nervous,' Dean recalled.

Back at Buckingham Palace, the princess's maid Margaret 'Bobo' MacDonald had for once not had to wake 'her little lady' as she always called her. The princess was already up and sitting in her dressing gown by the window looking at the crowds. 'I can't believe it's really happening, Crawfie,' she said to Marion Drawford, her old governess, who joined her by the window, 'I have to keep pinching myself.'

By 11.25, Prince Philip and David Milford Haven had taken their places inside the abbey to await the arrival of the bride and the King. Six kings and seven queens were among the 2500-strong congregation, the largest gathering of royalty, regnant and exiled, anyone could remember. As the sound of cheering outside the abbey rose from a rumble to a mighty roar, the rousing hymn, 'Praise My Soul, The King Of Heaven' provided the vocal backdrop to the entrance of the princess and the King. The young bride in her ivory satin Norman Hartnell gown held onto the arm of her father, who was dressed in the uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet.

The princess's father wrote a letter to his daughter, full of love and pride about how he contemplated his life without her: ‘I was so proud of you and thrilled at having you so close to me on our long walk in Westminster Abbey, but when I handed your hand to the Archbishop I felt that I had lost something very precious. You were very calm and composed during the Service and said your words with such conviction that I knew everything was all right.’

Just realised Prince Edward and Lady Sarah Chatto were born just 2 months apart, so the Queen and her sister, Princess Margaret, were pregnant at the same time 🩷🩷 Too bad there are no photos of them together from that period..😭💔

“The King looked at her as if he couldn’t believe anybody could be so much fun.”

- George VI, Sarah Bradford.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to your papa’s ‘Joy’ — beautiful Princess Margaret is 93 today!

I love how Bertie says, ‘mwaah’ and smiles with such bashful pride when Margot gives him a kiss. It’s too precious! 🥹
