==Engagement==
Elizabeth and Philip are second cousins once removed (by descent from Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel) and third cousins (by descent from Victoria of the United Kingdom and Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha). Elizabeth met Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark in 1934, at the wedding of Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark with Prince George, Duke of Kent and uncle of Elizabeth, and again in 1937.〔Brandreth, pp. 133–139; Lacey, pp. 124–125; Pimlott, p. 86〕 After another meeting at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in July 1939, Elizabeth—though only 13 years old—fell in love with Philip and they began to exchange letters.〔Bond, p. 10; Brandreth, pp. 132–136, 166–169; Lacey, pp. 119, 126, 135〕 An entry in Chips Channon's diary made reference to the future marriage of Elizabeth and Philip as early as 1941, "He is to be our Prince Consort, and that is why he is serving in our Navy." The couple became secretly engaged in 1946, when Philip asked King George VI for his daughter's hand in marriage. The King granted his request providing any formal engagement was delayed until Elizabeth's twenty-first birthday the following April.〔Brandreth, p. 183〕 Their engagement was officially announced on 9 July 1947.〔Heald, p. 77〕
The marriage was formally consented to by the King in his British Privy Council, as per the Royal Marriages Act 1772. The same was done in Canada at a meeting of the King's Canadian Privy Council, with the Chief Justice, Thibaudeau Rinfret, standing in as deputy to the King's representative, the Governor General of Canada.
Before the marriage, Philip renounced his Greek and Danish titles, converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism and adopted the style ''Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten'', taking the surname of his mother's British family.〔Hoey, pp. 55–56; Pimlott, pp. 101, 137〕 The day preceding his wedding, King George VI bestowed the style ''His Royal Highness'' and, on the morning of the wedding, 20 November 1947, he was made the ''Duke of Edinburgh'', ''Earl of Merioneth'', and ''Baron Greenwich of Greenwich in the County of London''.
