The relationship betweenPrince Philip and Queen Elizabethhas long been regarded as a strong one.
Prince Philip was an 18-year-old cadet charged with babysitting the two princesses.
And Princess Elizabeth was just overwhelmed… “Philip enjoys driving and does it fast!”
she wrote in a letter early in their relationship (viaPeople).
“He has his own tiny M.G.
which he is very proud of.
He has taken me about in it, once up to London, which was great fun.”
Philip sharply contrasted the more reserved Elizabeth, but the differences seem to have suited them well.
