1. Title: "A Royal Engagement: Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten and Princess Elizabeth, July 1947" 2. Description: This photograph captures a historic moment in British history as Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh, and Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth of York announce their engagement on the 10th of July, 1947. The image, taken on the 23rd of July, shows the couple smiling and radiant, with Elizabeth wearing a simple yet elegant dress and Philip in his military uniform. The background is adorned with lush greenery, adding to the romantic atmosphere of the scene. 3. Context: Philip Mountbatten, the future Duke of Edinburgh, was the grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the younger brother of Lord Louis Mountbatten. He proposed to Princess Elizabeth during a family gathering at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The engagement was met with great enthusiasm from the British public, who eagerly awaited the couple's wedding. 4. Significance: The engagement of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten marked the beginning of a new era in British monarchy. Elizabeth would go on to become Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, following the death of her father, King George VI. Philip, who was later created a prince consort, became her devoted and supportive husband, and the couple had four children together: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. 5. Provenance: This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images from the Illustrated London News (ILN) archive, which has documented significant events in British history since its inception in 1842. The image is from the ILN's 112th issue, published on July 26, 1947, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the future monarch and her husband during their engagement period.
