Royals are just like us in many regards. In many others, they’re nothing alike. It’s just how things are. Just because they don’t sprout their engagement photos on social networks like the rest of us, it doesn’t mean they don’t have it. Of course, back in the day, considering the long history of the Royal family, they didn’t have social media platforms to use. But, as we said, many of them got engaged, and have amazing photos to prove it. Yes, you heard it right, there are engagement photos of Royal couples such as Meghan and Harry or Diane and Charles, and we are here to share them with you. Some of them have that iconic feel to them, and you’ll certainly enjoy seeing them.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
Here we are talking about an ancient engagement that happened way back in 1947. They announced the big event in July of that year and got married only a few short months later. Princess Alice of Battenberg, Prince Phillip’s mother had a big role to play as she gave the diamond and aquamarine tiara for the three-carat ring Queen Elizabeth wore. Of course, she was still a Princess back then.
