From Patricia Treble’s obituary in Maclean’s:
Philip suggested to the 20-year-old princess in September 1946. He had little money as well as few possessions, yet the future Queen didn’t care. At the urging of her parents, they kept the engagement a trick for 10 months to be sure of their decision, during which time Philip became a naturalized British citizen. He took the name Philip Mountbatten, the name his mother’s household adopted when their German title of Battenberg was extinguished during the very first world War.
