Queen Elizabeth II felt infatuated with to-be husband Prince Philip right after a pantomime they together attended in 1943.
Her Majesty, who was a young girl at the time, impressed the Duke of Edinburgh with her strong personality.
The former Queen’s governess, Marion Crawfie Crawford, reveals that the 17-year-old asked her about the panto audience.
“Who do you think is coming to see us act, Crawfie? Philip!”
She later said: “The pantomime went off very well.
“I have never known Lilibet more animated.
“There was a sparkle about her none of us had ever seen before.”
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip first met at Britannia Royal Naval College in 1939.
