Queen Elizabeth travelled to Broadlands for her honeymoon | Travel News | Travel | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/900231/queen-elizabeth-travel-honeymoon-broadlands-hampshire)
QuoteQueen Elizabeth, 91, has reigned for nearly 66 years and has been married to her husband Prince Philip for 70 years.
The wedding in 1947 was a spectacular event, with her wedding dress famously being paid for with rationing coupons following World War II.
After the wedding on November 20, the couple chose to head on their honeymoon straight afterwards.
The destination wasn?t as exotic as many may think.

Queen Elizabeth Has Been Traveling With This Luggage Since Her Honeymoon in 1947 | Travel + Leisure (http://www.travelandleisure.com/style/travel-bags/queen-elizabeth-luggage-globe-trotter)
QuoteIt seems that when Queen Elizabeth likes a brand, she fully commits to it. The Queen relies on one shade of Essie polish for her nails. She's incredibly loyal to Launer's top-handle handbags (she reportedly owns more than 200 of them). And she has also supposedly traveled with the same luggage since her honeymoon with Prince Philip in 1947.
For the newlyweds' trip to Broadlands in Hampshire, England and Birkhall estate in Scotland, Queen Elizabeth ? Princess Elizabeth at the time ? purchased a set of Globe-Trotter's luggage. According to the luxury travel brand?s site, she continues to use her cases to this day to store her impeccably coordinated suits while traveling.
