Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon refused King George VI’s marriage proposal three times – 9Honey
Didn’t go to plan
The Queen Mother was a beloved member of the British royal family before her death in 2002.

Prince Albert, the Duke of York, first saw Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon at a dinner party in London in June 1920, although they may have met as children as they were raised in the same circles.
