Probably the first occasion upon which Queen Elizabeth II and her future husband, Prince Philip of Greece were photographed together, at Dartmouth Naval College on 22 July 1939.

Behind them can be seen the King's cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten and next to him, laughing and gesticulating, is Prince Philip.     Date: 1939
