Queen's close friend Lady Pamela Hicks recalls how romance between monarch and Philip began
The Queen's close friend Lady Pamela Hicks has recalled how the 95 year old monarch began her romance with Prince Philip and fell in love with the navy man. Lady Pamela, 93, who was a bridesmaid at the royal couple's wedding, was also there when Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh first began their flirtatious connection. While the duo became friends when the monarch was still a young princess, they gradually built on their connection over the years.
