Elizabeth was just 21 when she married Royal Navy Lt. Philip Mountbatten at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. She has been queen since 1952, ruling longer than any other British monarch.
Her marriage to Prince Philip is also the longest for any British sovereign. The pair have four children - Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
While Queen Elizabeth continues to carry out her duties, Prince Philip, 99, has retired from public life. With England under a national lockdown to control the Covid-19 pandemic, the couple are self-isolating at Windsor Castle.
