It seems that William and Kate’s children managed to bring a smile to the couple’s faces in these difficult times as millions of people around the world have been separated from their families for long periods of time due to the ongoing pandemic and can’t see them or hug them.
In the photo, Her Majesty looks lovely in a crepe pale blue dress by Stewart Parvin. In perhaps a symbolic reference to their long marital union, the Queen opted for a dark blue chrysanthemum brooch made from sapphires and diamonds that are set in platinum. She wore the same brooch when was photographed on her honeymoon at Broadlands in Hampshire in 1947. Then again in the official images that were taken to mark the couple’s 60th wedding anniversary in 2007.
Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh got married on 20 November 1947, in a beautiful ceremony held at Westminster Abbey, when the couple were 21 and 26 respectively.
