They have been married for seven decades and are always the picture of happiness whenever they step out in public together. But many have wondered why the Queen and Prince Philip rarely show any signs of affection. Photo: © Getty Images
The royal couple, who have been together for most of their adult lives, frequently refrain from embracing when out on public events or royal engagements. They have only occasionally been seen sharing a tender moment on a handful of times. Photo: © Getty Images
The Queen first set eyes on Philip when she was 13 years old, and began exchanging letters before eventually becoming formally engaged in 1947, following the Queen's 21st birthday. The royal pair married later in the same year. Photo: © Getty Images
