This historic document, the Marriage License of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, dates back to September 22, 1947. The license, a significant artifact from the royal wedding, was granted by the Archdeacon of Westminster, the Reverend Walter Thomas Monnington, allowing the young couple to marry at Westminster Abbey. 3.

The Couple's Attire: The image of the marriage license offers a glimpse into the royal wedding, an event that captivated the world. Princess Elizabeth wore a stunning white gown designed by Norman Hartnell, while Prince Philip donned the uniform of the Royal Navy. Their wedding was a symbol of hope and unity following the hardships of World War II. 6.
