No official announcement of the princess' engagement had yet been made. The name of Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten formerly Prince Philip of Greece has been repeatedly mentioned throughout the world. To inquire as about her engagement the Princess said 'you must wait and see'.
There was, by now, one very regular visitor to the palace. In 1946, Prince Philip came back from the Far East and was appointed to a Royal Navy training unit. Palace staff noticed a new photograph on Princess Elizabeth’ desk. Following a night out with the Prince to see the musical Oklahoma!, she had taken to playing the song ‘People Will Say We’re In Love’ on her gramophone. Crawfie and others noted that the Prince’s sports car was an increasingly familiar sight at Buckingham Palace. He had even taken to inviting himself round to see Lilibet, as he acknowledged in a half-apology to the Queen. ‘However contrite,’ he wrote to her in June 1946, ‘I feel there is always a small voice that keeps saying “nothing ventured, nothing gained" - well, I did venture and I gained a wonderful time.’
SEPTEMBER 1946 BALMORAL
The next step would come when the Prince was invited to join the Royal Family house party in te Highlands, later that same summer. ‘I suppose I began to think about it seriously when I got back in forty-six and went to Balmoral,’ Prince Philip told his biographer, Basil Boothroyd. ‘It was probably then that we began to think about it seriously and even talk about it.’ That was the Duke’s understated version, long after the event, of what happened. He did rather more than talk about it. It was at Balmoral that the twenty-five-year-old Prince proposed to his twenty-year-old sweetheart. As the royal biographer, William Shawcrow, has revealed, the Prince was ecstatic when she accepted, and they then successfully sought the approval of the King and Queen. ‘I am sure I do not deserve all the good things which had happened to me,’ Prince Philip wrote to his future mother-in-law soon afterwards, in September 1946. ‘To have been spared in the war and seen victory, to have been given the chance to rest and re-adjust myself, to have fallen in love completely and unreservedly, makes all one’s personal and even the world’s troubles seem small and petty.” This recent ‘circumstance’, he added, had done ‘more for me than anything else in my life.’ | Queen of Our Times by Robert Hardman.
