Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip will celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary on Friday. For the occasion, the royal couple has released a photograph of themselves opening a card from three of their great-grandchildren. Elizabeth was only 21 when she married Royal Navy Lt. Philip Mountbatten at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. She has been queen since 1952, ruling longer than any other British monarch. Her marriage to Prince Philip is also the longest for any British sovereign.

While Queen Elizabeth continues to carry out her duties, Prince Philip, 99, has retired from public life. With England under a national lockdown to control the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple are self-isolating at Windsor Castle
