November: The Royal Month of Love

The British royal family has a penchant for romance, and November is the month that steals the show. This month has been a witness to many royal engagements and weddings, making it the ultimate month for love in the royal calendar.

A Tradition of Love and Commitment

The royal family's love affair with November began in 1947 when Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip tied the knot on November 20. The future monarch, then known as Princess Elizabeth, exchanged vows with Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey, setting the stage for future royal romances.

Twenty-six years later, Princess Anne followed in her mother's footsteps and married Captain Mark Phillips on November 14, 1973. Although their marriage eventually ended in divorce, it marked the beginning of a tradition of November weddings and engagements in the royal family.

The Modern Royal Couples

Fast forward to 2010, when Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement on November 16. The news sent shockwaves around the world, with many excited to see the future king find his queen. Prince William proposed to Kate with a stunning sapphire and diamond engagement ring that had belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana.

Seven years later, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined the November romance club, announcing their engagement on November 27, 2017. Prince Harry designed a beautiful three-stone ring for Meghan, featuring two diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection, making the moment even more special.
