They began writing to each other and became friends before Philip was invited to spend the Christmas of 1943 with the royal family at Windsor.
The couple secretly became engaged in the summer of 1946 but the official announcement wasn't made until the following year, after Princess Elizabeth had returned from a royal tour of South Africa.
