We here at the bombshell beauty blog are happy to wish the royal couple Happy Anniversary! For those of you who don't know a platinum anniversary is the celebration of 70 years! That is a long time to be with someone!
The princess and her suitor were married on November 20th, 1947, a somewhat lavish affair right after the second world war. Famously the princess Elizabeth had to save up her ration coupons to purchase her wedding dress! Also worthy of note this was the first time a royal couple of Great Britain were married over live broadcast television, setting a precedent for future weddings to be televised.
The Princesses wedding dress was designed by Sir Norman Hartnell. Below you can see his winning design:
