Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon rejected Prince Albert's marriage proposal three times before eventually saying yes.
August 04, 2021 - 13:21 BST Danielle Stacey The Queen Mother had been married to King George VI for nearly 29 years when he passed away at the age of 56 in 1952.
Albert is said to have proposed for a second time after Elizabeth took part in her first occasion as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Princess Mary to Henry, Viscount Lascelles at Westminster Abbey. Once again Elizabeth turned down the Prince's proposal and many reports also state there may have been a third that was rejected.
The bride laid her bridal bouquet at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior as tribute to her brother Fergus, who died at the Battle of Loos in 1915.
