1947 Announcement Engagement Lieut Mountbatten Philip Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
On the 19th of July, 1947, The Illustrated London News proudly showcased the joyous news of the engagement of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten on its front cover. The photograph captures the young couple, radiant with happiness, as they pose for the camera on the day of the announcement. Princess Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, gazes lovingly at her fiancé, who dons the uniform of the Royal Navy. The future Queen and her husband-to-be had met for the first time just six months prior, during the Royal Tour of South Africa, and their engagement came as a delightful surprise to the world. The announcement marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the young couple, who would go on to rule the British monarchy for over 70 years. This historic moment in time is beautifully preserved in this iconic front cover of The Illustrated London News, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of love and commitment.
