The longest royal marriage in history seems like enough of a milestone for a retrospective, no? As ever when it comes to a royal flashback, you are in for some *very unusual hats.*  This time, you'll also get to revisit a *lot* of former US presidents, assorted Royals of Old, some corgis gone by, and various tiny princes.

While we're on the subject, I linked to this in Royals Round-Up, but [Order of Splendor did a great post about the Queen's wedding gown](https://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2017/11/royal-flashback-of-day-queen-elizabeth.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- I didn't know that the inspiration was Botticelli's *Primavera* (thank goodness it wasn't *Birth of Venus*) -- and there's been a ton of other coverage that you might enjoy as well, [like this piece about their wedding cake, which was INSANE](https://www.brides.com/story/this-chef-recreated-queen-elizabeths-wedding-cake?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Mazel tov, you two. May you mark...well, seventy more years seems optimistic, but let's root for a nice fat handful of years yet, anyway.
