Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Phillip in November 1947. She was said to have fallen in love with him as soon as she met him, and that did not change throughout their 73-year marriage. The couple had had three sons and one daughter together. They stayed together until his passing in the spring of 2021. Known for her adherence to decorum, love of Corgis, colorful style, sense of humor, and grace, the monarch was admired by not only the people of her own kingdom, but many around the world.
