Philip and Elizabeth were married in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey

Thursday Nov 20, 1947
Westminster Abbey, London, England, United Kingdom

Philip and Elizabeth were married in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, recorded and broadcast by BBC radio to 200 million people around the world. In post-war Britain, it was not acceptable for any of the Duke of Edinburgh's German relations to be invited to the wedding, including Philip's three surviving sisters, all of whom had married German princes.
