Distant cousins – he had been born Philip, Prince of Greece and Denmark – they met a couple of times as children and the Queen was 13 when she is said to have become smitten by Philip who was then 18 and a dashing naval cadet. The backdrop was Dartmouth Royal Naval College. She was accompanying her parents – King George VI and Queen Elizabeth – on an official visit along with her sister, Margaret. Philip was asked to keep the two princesses entertained while the visit took place.
