to the queen, and was pursuing his successful career in the royal navy. 0ur europe correspondent nick beakee's time there. it was more than 70 years ago that newlyweds philip and elizabeth fell in love with this island. and it wasn'tjust the majestic beauty of the maltese coastline, it was the sort of lifestyle it afforded them at this particular moment in their lives. this was the early 1950s, and the prince was able to pursue his naval career. his ship could often be seen docked in the harbour here. for the queen, she was able to go to the shops. it was the closest to normality that they may be able to have ever imagined. and they have spoken over the years with great fondness about this particular place. and that is why the prince will be in many people's thoughts and prayers today. of course, the way that they remember him will be shaped, as it will be in the united kingdom and elsewhere, by the current coronavirus pandemic. and so for example, the anglican cathedral where, often the couple would worship, today that is closed, there is no service. although, there is a special recording
