Is it true that Queen Elizabeth II was beneath Prince Philips notice?

Question

I have been told, that before they loved each other, Queen Elizabeth II loved Prince Philip, but that Prince Philip didn't love her because she was beneath his notice. Is this true? Hey, I can't blame Queen Elizabeth II for having a crush on the young Prince Philip. Heck, I have a crush on the young Prince Philip. And i'm a male.

Answer 1

Beneath his notice? seriously? what idiot told you that. Queen Elizabeth II was The King's daughter. She was the heir to the throne and the future Queen. How could she be beneath anyone's notice. Especially to an nobody like Prince Philip. And you're gay for having a crush on the young Prince Philip.

Answer 2

Watch the series The Crown. It does a good job of recounting their romance. At that time, England was the most powerful country in Europe. A future queen of the country was not beneath anyone's notice.

Answer 3

She is 4 years younger than him, when they first met he was 18 and she was 14, 18 year olds do not notice 14 year olds, but after the war they met again and that is when the romance began.

Answer 4

You need to stop listening to this person. Lies seem to be this person's specialty.



Well-informed people know that Elizabeth was not beneath Philip's notice. A future reigning queen being beneath someone's notice? Absurd.

Philip and Elizabeth are second and third cousins--there was a family-oriented interest between the 18 year old Philip and 13 year old Elizabeth. Philip wanted to make a good impression on his cousin rather than think her beneath his notice.

There are some who think that Lord Louis Mountbatten was behind Philip's and Elizabeth's getting together; Lord Mountbatten was seen as a power-hungry social climber who wished that the Royal House of Mountbatten would reign Britain one day. While the match worked--Elizabeth and Philip truly were interested in one another and years of writing and meeting led to love and marriage--Mountbatten's plot for there to be a Royal House of Mountbatten did not work. The Royal House remains Windsor, but the family surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.

Answer 5

At the time they first met, she was 13 and he 18. How many relationships blossom between two people with that age difference, and at those ages particularly. She was smitten, apparently, but at that age it could have been merely a crush. He wasn't encouraged at all, by her parents especially. I think they continued to have reservations about him to the day they married but clearly something must have worked, whether it be her status or what. At least the marriage lasted (with or without the rumours!!). He has been a great support throughout.

Answer 6

You can't blame Phil for holding his nose on Betty. Generations of German interbreeding put the ug in Ugly Betty. We shall now omit notice of the fact that though Phil was baptized Greek Orthodox and was a princeling of both Denmark and Greece, he is basically the product of the same incestuous cesspool. Anyway WW2 came along and his ethnic kin conquered his realms so Phil took another look at Ugly Betty and said DAMN London starting to look good to me. The End

Answer 7

What I said, sweetie, was that when she was 13 and he was 18, he likely wouldn't have found her very interesting and would have focused his attention on older, more sophisticated, and available girls. Her parents certainly wouldn't have allowed him to court her in any way. Later, of course, things changed, though her parents never did become all that enthusiastic about him.

Answer 8

I'm an American, we don't care about such trivial matters.

Answer 9

Just the opposite! Prince Philip is known as a very LOVING Husband! They even had LOVE at first sight!
