In 2015, she surpassed Queen Victoria to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
And, recently, the death of her husband, Prince Philip, and his funeral made me consider the collectibles that relate to their long union.
Itâs a union that started in the 1930s and has continued through several decades.
As the queen celebrated her 95th birthday in April, some interesting facts about her and the prince seemed quite timely for this yearâs June wedding season.
While Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip first met in 1934 at the wedding of Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark to Prince George, Duke of Kent, the couple announced their engagement on July 9, 1947, and were married at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey in London.
