Ah, royal romance. It's the kind of story that has made Walt Disney billions and fascinated gossip columnists since the Crown was established. And while real life takes of courtly romance involving kings, queens, princes, and princesses tend to feature less talking mice, they're all pretty unique love stories in their own right. So today we're answering the romantic question, how did all the British royal couples meet? But before we take a walk down the aisle, why don't you walk on over to the Subscribe button. Then let us in the comments what other origin stories you want to hear about. For now, let's have a divinely ordained meet cute. Before her husband's passing in 2021, Queen Elizabeth II had been the longest married British monarch in history, spending 73 years with the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. The pair first met at a wedding when they were children and did not properly connect until many years later. Elizabeth was 13 when she first started to fancy Philip, after the 18-year-old gave her a tour at the Royal Naval College in 1939. Boats are apparently romantic enough to close a troubling age gap. Two months later, World War II began and drastically changed the royals' lives. Elizabeth took on more duties while Philip served as a Royal Navy officer. The kibosh had been put on the relationship before it started. Or had it? Despite being kept apart, the budding romance between Elizabeth and Philip remained strong, with the two writing letters and sending photos all throughout the war. And they were finally married in 1947. Before she was Princess of Wales, Diana was simply known as the sister of the girl who was dating the Prince of Wales, which is a tough thing to be famous for. Even though Diana Spencer grew up on the Queen's estate at Sandringham, she did not meet Prince Charles for quite some time. When Diana was 16, her older sister Sarah began dating Charles. He was invited to his girlfriend's home in 1977, which is where he ran into Diana, who admittedly had a crush on old Chuck. Being a prince goes a long way. Sarah and Charles' relationship eventually dissolved, and a few years later, Charles put the moves on the younger of the sisters. The result was an elaborate fairy tale wedding in 1981, which made Diana one of the most famous modern princesses of all time. The marriage eventually ended in divorce in 1996, with Diana suffering her tragic car accident just one year later. Diana was famously the first wife of Prince Charles, but it was Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who kept snatching his attention. The two happened to be at the same polo match in 1970, where they really hit it off. Camilla even flirted with Charles by stating her great-grandmother was the mistress of Charles's great-great-grandfather. That line gets 'em every time. The pair dated for many months, until the Royal Navy sent Charles overseas. When he got back to Britain, Camilla had moved on to Andrew Parker Bowles, whom she married in 1973. Eight years later, Charles would marry Diana. But reports suggest that Charles and Camilla reconnected and began an affair in 1986. Charles and Camilla would go on to divorce their spouses and be with each other to make up for all the lost time. The two were married in 2005. And Andrew Parker Bowles moved on to Anne Robinson, the host of a game show. The Weakest Link. So hopefully, he didn't read too much into that. Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, are best known as being Prince and Princess of Wales. But they started things out as college sweethearts. After they both finished a gap year, William traveled to Africa and South Africa while Kate headed to Chile and Italy. So what do you think? Enjoy learning the origins of these royal romances?

New Guy (Hey, it's either that or Other Guy, it's not that you're a bad narrator. You're a more than capable disembodied voice. It's just that you've got ENORMOUS shoes to fill, and, honestly, those are some shoes you just can't fill. It's alright, no one can. He's an old-school true sounding narrator. Other than David Attenborough, you can't get any better. It's like this:
1. David Attenborough
2. Weird History Narrator
3. We, Mere Mortals.
Don't let it get you down. You're growing on me. If the Narrator can't be here, I don't mind you filling in for him.

Its so sad how the Royalty have turned into shallow celebrities, there is nothing regal about them, not a single one of them is pious and their top duty to preserve culture has been completely forgotten. Its like you can never look at royals and see glory and the country in them at all

Reminder that Kate Middleton is still missing. The rumors of her having had a mental health crisis seems very likely the more the firm tries to cover it up.

The narrator sounds like he’s being forced to do something he doesn’t want to do just like all the other vids he’s done they need to get rid of him

Most of them made me go who The Queen, and the messed up relations of Charles and Dianna and their kids are mostly just known from media stories.

They are all a bunch of losers living off of a family name. I have some royal ancestry way back and I won't have anything to do with it.
