Prince Philip and the Queen were married for 73 years and you won't believe the special wedding present he gave to his beautiful bride. See details.
November 20, 2022 - 12:10 GMT Gemma Strong Prince Philip had a passion for design. A talented oil painter, he also famously helped with the refurbishment of Windsor Castle when it was destroyed by a fire in 1992, designing a striking stained glass window for the private chapel.
TRENDING NOW: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex surprise at Elton John concert – but it's not what you think So it is perhaps unsurprising that he put his talents to good use ahead of his marriage to the then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947. The Duke presented his bride-to-be with a stunning diamond bracelet that held great personal sentimental value. It has come to be known as 'The Queen's Wedding Bracelet' and is among the most treasured of the jewels in Her late Majesty's collection.
Philip then used the remaining jewels to personally design an Art Deco-style bracelet for his bride, which was crafted by London jeweller Philip Antrobus and presented to the Princess on her wedding day.Other gifts received by the bride included a 19th-century necklace of diamonds and sapphires given to her by her father, King George VI, and a diamond and ruby necklace from her mother, Queen Elizabeth. The couple also jointly gave a pair of Cartier diamond and platinum earrings.
The Wedding Gift Bracelet remained a firm favourite of the Queen throughout her reign, and she was photographed wearing it on a number of occasions over the seven decades the couple were married, including her official Diamond Jubilee portrait.Touchingly, the monarch lent her precious bracelet to the Duchess of Cambridge, who first wore it to the Chinese State Banquet in 2015. She was also seen wearing it at the 2016 Diplomatic Reception and at the 2017 BAFTA Awards.
