Royal family celebrates Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s 72nd marriage anniversary
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip tied the knot seventy-two years ago, and their ever-growing family has helped them celebrate in a special way.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid tribute to the senior royal couple on social media. Both Prince William and Duchess Kate publicly wished the monarch and her husband a happy anniversary alongside a gorgeous vintage photograph and a newer one of the happy, loved-up couple.
Their post read: "Wishing Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh a very happy 72nd Wedding Anniversary!"
The Duke and Duchess took a similar approach by sharing a simple black-and-white photograph of the Queen and Duke from many years ago.
"Happy anniversary to Her Majesty The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh!" their comment read.
"On this day, seventy-two years ago, they were married at Westminster Abbey. Many congratulations!"
The main royal family account shared their own sweet sentiments to celebrate the couple’s marriage.
The page, which represents the Queen, Prince Philip and a number of other Windsor members, featured a two-photo slideshow of the couple waving from the balcony at the wedding, to a more recent shot of the two pictured together.
The Duke of Edinburgh, 98, is retired, and currently spending time at Sandringham in Norfolk while his wife is some distance away in London for work.
