On this day in royal history, Elizabeth said yes! 💍
"He has wanted to marry Elizth for nearly 3 years, & she had refused him quite steadfastly, but lately I noticed that she liked dancing & talking to him more than anyone else - so when he came suddenly to St Paul's Walden last week I felt pretty certain she wd say yes. She is very happy & he is radiant - & we are (at last) quite happy about it - I like him immensely."
