Prince Philip’s thoughtful wedding gift to the Queen revealed. The monarch still treasures ‘The Queen’s Wedding Bracelet’, which her husband designed himself
June 10, 2020 - 12:24 BST Gemma Strong Prince Philip has a passion for design. A talented oil painter, he also famously helped with the refurbishment of Windsor Castle when it was destroyed by a fire in 1992, designing a striking stained glass window for the private chapel. So it is perhaps unsurprising that he put his talents to good use ahead of his marriage to the then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947.
Other gifts received by the bride included a 19th-century necklace of diamonds and sapphires given to her by her father, King George VI, and a diamond and ruby necklace from her mother, Queen Elizabeth. The couple also jointly gave a pair of Cartier diamond and platinum earrings. The Wedding Gift Bracelet has remained a firm favourite of the Queen, and she has been photographed wearing it on a number of occasions over the seven decades the couple have been married, including her official Diamond Jubilee portrait.
