1950 Edinburgh Malta Philip Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting black-and-white photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) and her husband, His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, are seen sharing a moment of warmth and affection during the Princess' visit to the Mediterranean island of Malta in 1950. The scene captures the young couple, both in their late twenties, as they stroll along a sun-kissed waterfront promenade, with the crystal-clear azure waters of the harbor stretching out behind them. The backdrop of their idyllic setting holds a special significance, as Prince Philip was stationed in Malta as a naval officer prior to the Queen's accession to the throne in 1952. Their visit to the island, which marked the first time the Princess had traveled abroad without her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, was an opportunity for her to reconnect with her husband, who had been away from the royal family for several years. The couple's easy camaraderie and genuine connection are palpable in this image, which beautifully encapsulates the essence of their enduring love story. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their early years together and the strong foundation upon which they built their remarkable 73-year marriage. This evocative portrait, taken in 1950, offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the monarch and her consort, providing an intriguing window into their history and the unique bond that has defined their reign.
