margaretroses:The first photographs of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip together, at Dartmouth Naval College on 22 July 1939. Aged 18 at the time, Philip was charged with entertaining his 13-year-old cousin and her 9-year-old sister Princess Margaret, whilst the King and Queen carried out their engagements at the College. Over the next seven years Philip and Elizabeth grew closer and the couple became engaged in 1946. As Elizabeth’s parents believed her to be too young at the time, the engagement was not publicly announced until July 1947, and the couple were married on 20 November of that year. -- source link
