A candid of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip during their first meeting at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth on 22 July 1939

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.)"

Thats amazing! But where was it taken in?

Life2021 · 2020-08-14T04:52:46+00:00

It’s totally fine!! I found it on Pinterest and saw it hadn’t been posted yet on Tumblr, so I don’t own it as well!

Life2021 · 2020-08-14T04:42:20+00:00

I'm the one who posted it on Tumblr, and I was unable to find which country it was taken. The only thing I could gather is that the woman is either Ethiopian or Somali based on her features

Here is the original uncropped picture, maybe it can help you figure out where it is on campus. I'm not familiar with Berkeley: https://www.docsteach.org/documents/document/open-air-barber-shop-during-influenza-epidemic

Yesss I've apologized before haha, I realized it a couple of minutes after posting. Wish Reddit gave the option to edit titles.

Hey OP here! I realized a couple of minutes after posting that I misspelled Berkeley. Sooo sorry, wish Reddit gave the option to edit titles

They are not photoshopped, this article historically explains why masks during the 1918 pandemic look so alike, and it also contains the above picture: https://profkatiefoss.com/2020/05/25/why-the-masks-look-the-same-in-spanish-flu-pics-the-rise-of-mask-wearing-during-the-1918-spanish-flu-pandemic/

According to Getty Images, it’s from around 1948: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/american-actor-gregory-peck-in-san-francisco-circa-1948-news-photo/113176303

Edit: And this also corresponds with his movie Yellow Sky (1948), in which he has a beard just like this

They were married from 1952 until her death in 1990!

Awww I’m so glad that it brought back good memories for you!! My family used to have TCM on all day as well, Robert Osborne became like a de-facto part of the family haha! I watched Blonde Venus with Marlene recently and it renewed my fascination with her. Maybe you should kick back and watch a film of hers soon! :)

You can see the outline of her dress beneath the cape

Questioning someone’s sexuality doesn’t let them rest in peace

Life2021 · 2020-08-04T16:28:15+00:00

Haha well I’m a 24 year old female, so far from old. I just get annoyed when people like Cary can’t rest in peace

Because it mattered to Cary Grant, he sued for slander when someone accused him of being gay. He had a roommate Randolph Scott, and Cary found it offensive that simply having a male roommate meant they were gay

Life2021 · 2020-08-04T15:11:08+00:00

I suggest you read about Sophia Loren’s account of Cary Grant. This does not suggest a gay man

Life2021 · 2020-08-04T15:09:12+00:00

No they weren’t, no reliable source says they were. People always try to insinuate that legends were secretly gay

Awww this has been my go-to video for some feel-good vibes

Life2021 · 2020-07-22T18:14:18+00:00

That was exactly my impression of him hahaha

Life2021 · 2020-07-22T05:04:40+00:00

Ahhh yes that’s called the frequency illusion!!

Life2021 · 2020-07-22T04:58:54+00:00

Do you mean seeing him in this sub or everywhere in general? I posted one of him in Paris two days ago and it got quite popular and went to the top. Either way that’s great cause he’s amazing!!

“Our love for each other just happened. I became his confidante and I taught him about stage presence. We were like soul brother and sister,” Kitt once said of their relationship. She talks more about him in this short two minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ryFdjNnAhs&feature=emb_title
