Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip – 71 years

Currently, they hold a record for having the lengthiest marriage in the British monarchy. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip celebrated their 71st-anniversary last year in November 2018. They first got acquainted at the Royal Naval College, where they started exchanging letters that build up their romance. As expected of the two, they uphold the highest degree of values of their generation. They have never been sighted holding hands in public according to Gyles Brandreth, the royal biographer.

Despite the numerous royal rules and protocols, Queen Elizabeth still talks fondly of her husband. On their golden wedding anniversary in 1997, she called Prince Philip her “strength,” who stayed by her side all these years. However, despite the longevity of their romance, it wasn’t always straightforward, and there were many obstacles that they had successfully surpassed through time. Prince Philip also sees himself as more pragmatic than romantic, which is just right for their relationship. Perfect dynamics for the two royalties.
