In words laden with affection and warmth, Prince Philip told the then Princess Elizabeth how he had fallen in love with her 'unreservedly.'

The letter, written in 1946 — a year before their wedding — was among several revealed in Philip Eade's 2011 book Young Prince Philip: His Turbulent Early Life.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who has died aged 99, told the Princess how falling in love with her so 'completely' had made his personal troubles and even those of the world 'seem small and petty.'

He also found it difficult to put his feelings into words, describing in another message after they had spent time together how he felt incapable of 'showing you the gratitude that I feel.'

And he told the Queen Mother in the year of her daughter's wedding to him how 'Lilibet was the only thing in this world, which is absolutely real to me.'

Love letters

Philip served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War and saw active service against German, Italian, and Japanese forces.

The Greek prince's early life was also marked by upheaval — he escaped his home country as a baby by being hidden in a makeshift cot made from an orange box.

So his words were filled with meaning when he told Princess Elizabeth in 1946 how his love for her made all his past struggle — and the horrors the world had just been through — seem trivial by comparison.

He wrote:

'To have been spared in the war and seen victory, to have been given the chance to rest and to 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.'

Three years earlier, Philip had spent Christmas at Windsor Castle.

Princess Elizabeth was said to be animated in a way 'none of us had ever seen before,' her governess, Marion Crawford, wrote.

Writing to her after seeing her again in July, Philip wrote of the 'simple enjoyment of family pleasures and amusements and the feeling that I am welcome to share them.'

'I am afraid I am not capable of putting all this into the right words and I am certainly incapable of showing you the gratitude that I feel.'

The same year, he apologised for the 'monumental cheek' of turning up to Buckingham Palace uninvited.

'Yet however contrite I feel, there is always a small voice that keeps saying "Nothing ventured, nothing gained,"' he wrote.

'Well did I venture, and I gained a wonderful time.'

And in a letter to the Queen Mother two weeks after his wedding to Princess Elizabeth in November 1947, Philip expressed his vision for their time together.

He said:

'Lilibet is the only thing in this world, which is absolutely real to me, and my ambition is to wield the two of us into a new combined existence that will not only be able to withstand the shocks directed at us but will also have a positive existence for the good... Cherish Lilibet?'

'I wonder if that word is enough to express what is in me. Does one cherish one's sense of humour or one's musical ear or one's eyes?

'I am not sure, but I know that I thank God for them and so, very humbly, I thank God for Lilibet and us.'

Public speeches

The pair's wedding, attended by an array of foreign kings and queens, captured the public imagination in the austere post-war days of November 1947.

The newly-weds were called the Fairy Princess and Prince Charming.

After honeymooning at Broadlands, Hampshire, home of Lord Mountbatten, and at Birkhall on the Balmoral estate in Scotland, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh stayed at Buckingham Palace until renovation of their new home, nearby Clarence House, was completed in 1949.

And in the years since then, both Philip and the Queen have spoken of each other with affection in public.

In a 1997 toast during the couple's 50th wedding anniversary, he said:

'I think the main lesson that we have learned is that tolerance is the one essential ingredient of any happy marriage.

It may not be quite so important when things are going well, but it is absolutely vital when the going gets difficult.

You can take it from me that the Queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance.'

She said on the same evening that Philip had been her 'strength and stay all these years.'

'I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know,' she added.

In 2002, at her Golden Jubilee Speech, the monarch said of her consort:

'The Duke of Edinburgh has made an invaluable contribution to my life over these past fifty years, as he has to so many charities and organisations with which he has been involved.'

And, during her Diamond Jubilee address to Parliament in 2012, the Queen said to her husband:

'During these years as your Queen, the support of my family has, across the generations, been beyond measure.

Prince Philip is, I believe, well-known for declining compliments of any kind. But throughout he has been a constant strength and guide.'

Private moments

Philip was there for the Queen when her father, King George VI, died in February 1952.

Only six days before her father's death, the then Princess and Philip had embarked on their tour of Australia via Kenya.

According to Eade in his book, Philip said of the days following the King's death that 'there were plenty of people telling me what not to do.'

He added:

'I had to try to support the Queen as best I could without getting in the way. The difficulty was to find things that might be useful.'

And according to an anecdote told by Queen Alexandra of Yugoslavia, Philip is said to have told the Queen when recalling their first meeting in 1934 that — 'you were so shy. I could not get a word out of you.'

Mischievous Philip is also said to have joked to his wife on the day of her coronation in 1953 — when she was wearing the 17th-century St Edward's Crown — 'where did you get that hat.'

Smiley Duke

The Duke & Duchess of York. This may be an engagement photo, not sure, but it's one of my favorites. I love how Bertie is trying to repress his joyful giggles. And I also love Elizabeth's style.

Doesn’t matter if you like King Charles III/Prince of Wales, we can’t deny that when one think of how a prince should look, he is definitely an style icon, an example of how a ‘truly English man’ (and in his case a prince) should look. His style when he was younger is very interesting and very dashing

He has tried a lot of styles, fabrics, patterns. He liked to experiment a lot, but the tailoring and always being very well ironed takes the cake for me!

What are your thoughts of his style?

You know how Newmarket is the centre of British horse racing, and Chantilly the Centre of French horse racing. Is there an equivalent town in Sweden?

Just curious. The British royal family is always being photographed at Ascot and other prestigious racecourses, and their Queen Elizabeth II used to own racehorses. If fictional Queen Kristina also owns racehorses, whereabouts in Sweden would her horse trainer be most likely to have their stable?

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the death of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

#(the quote is by Richard Woodville in his deathbed will; he was the last of the Woodville brothers to die)#elizabeth woodville #woodvilles #my post #to be clear I am not arguing that the death of an English gentry family name is some kind of giant tragedy (it absolutely the fuck is not)#I'm trying to put it into perspective with regards to what Elizabeth may have felt because we know her family DID feel this way #writing this kinda reminded me of how I am just not fond at all about the way Elizabeth's experiences in 1483-85 are written about #and the way lots so many of the unprecedentedly horrifying aspects are overlooked or treated so casually:#the seizure and murder of two MINOR sons and the illegal execution of another;#her sheer vulnerability in every way compared to all her queenly predecessors; how she was harassed by 'dire threats' for months;#how she had 5 very young daughters with her to look after at the time (Bridget and Katherine were literally 3 and 4 years old);#how unprecedented Richard's treatment of her was: EW was the first queen of england to be officially declared an adulteress;#and the first and ONLY queen to be officially accused of witchcraft #(Joan of Navarre was accused of her treason; she was never explicitly accused of witchcraft on an official level like EW was)#the first crowned queen of england to have her marriage annulled; and the first queen to have her children officially bastardized #what former queens endured through rumors* were turned into horrifying realities for her.#(I'm not trying to downplay the nightmare of that but this was fundamentally on a different level altogether)#nor did Elizabeth get a trial or appeal to the church. like I cannot emphasize this enough: this was not normal for queens #and not normal for depositions. ultimately what Richard did *was* unprecedented #and of course let's not forget that Elizabeth had literally just been unexpectedly widowed like 20 days before everything happened #I really don't feel like any of this is emphasized as much as it should be?#apart from the horrifying death of her sons - but most modern books never call it murder they just write that they 'disappeared'#and emphasize that ACTUALLY we don't know what happened to them (this includes Arlene Okerlund)#rather than allowing her to have that grief (at the very least)#more time is spent dealing with accusations that she was a heartless bitch or inconsistent intriguer for making a deal with Richard instead #it also feels like a waste because there's a lot that can be analyzed about queenship and R3's usurpation if this is ever explored properly #anyway - it's kinda sad that even after Henry won and her daughter became queen EW didn't really get a break #her family kept dying one by one and the Woodville name was extinguished. and she lived to see it #it's kinda heartbreaking - it was such a dramatic rise and such a slow haunting fall #makes for a great story tho

Do you have a depiction of what Jade's parents look like?

Hello Anon! ╰(*°▽°*)╯Yes I do! Here they are <3

Jade's parents' names are Eli and Gracie Le Jardin (not real name). They were MI6 black agents like Jade. They retired, faked their deaths, and changed their names to run away from the organization. They picked up little Charlotte from the streets and took her under their care. While Jade got trained at MI6, the couple opened up a floristry in London, restarting their lives together.

For the both of them, Jade is "Little Lottie" or "Lottie Dear" (They add "Dear" at the end of someone close's name)

(Even though Jade's adopted, you can see that she got her braids from her mum and her habit of rolling sleeves from her dad)

Here's "Ruby" and "Garnet" in their younger days! Much like their daughter, they were picked up from the streets, got trained, and did the dirty works for MI6. Probably during the end of Cold War-ish? 🤔 (worked closely with Helen Park? Hello? 👀)

Anyway, though they might have some back problems, their knowledge and instincts are still the same. Don't mess with these oldies. They can still remove you from existence with ease.

(Ghost's in-laws? Hello? 👀 "Simon Dear" SJDFFJSDFSKSDF)

(HNGH IMAGINE GHOST MEETING HIS IN-LAWS 😩😩😩)

Hope you love them! (✧ω✧)

#I model them from the young Prince Phillip Duke of Edinburgh and Elizabeth the Queen Mother #ASKDFASDFHKLSDAKJLSAFDHSFADSFADSF #IDK WHY BUT IT JUST HAPPENED #charlotte jade le jardin #ghost x oc #ghost x jade #call of duty #call of duty modern warfare #cod mw #cod #fanart #art #cod art #call of duty art #Oh I haven't said it yet

The mention of Mary Norris on the household list probably refers to the daughter of the executed Sir Henry Norris who was implicated in the fall of Elizabeth’s mother. Mary was around ten years old in 1536 and was orphaned by the death of her father, since her mother had died when she was younger. It is possible she was placed in Elizabeth’s household as a way of providing for her in the aftermath of her father’s beheading, while her elder brother, Henry, was given over into the care of their uncle, Sir John Norris. Henry would later be well favoured by Elizabeth and brought into her inner circle, so it seems plausible that the same was true of his sister. Mary only remained with Elizabeth for a short time, however, for in 1537 her name can be found among those who attended the funeral of Jane Seymour, and she was given gifts of jewels after the Queen’s death, indicating that she was by then a member of Jane’s household.

Bertie & Elizabeth 1923 ❤️

The honeymoon signatures of the Duke & Duchess of York (later King George VI & Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) in the Glamis Castle visitors' book in 1923, adorned with romantic illustrations by Elizabeth’s brother Michael. 💘

Elizabeth & Bertie pictured with Elizabeth’s brother David Bowes-Lyon at Glamis, early in the Yorks' marriage. Elizabeth and David were very close, and Bertie got close to both David and Michael as well.
