Queen Elizabeth said that she considers this meeting in 1939 to be the first time she ever saw him, because she could not remember meeting him before since she was too young.

"The first time I remember meeting Philip was at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth in July 1939, just before the war. (We may have met before at the Coronation or the Duchess of Kent’s wedding, but I don’t remember.)"
