royal marriages are usually not made for love and never have been until recently-with William and Kate

Not true. Elizabeth and Phillip were a love match. There was opposition to Phillip but Elizabeth was persistent and her parents finally relented.

I did say “usually”-and Elizabeth and William were a rare exception-especially at that time-but at least neither of them was a commoner-so it was just a matter of Phillip/his family not having as much influence/political clout as some other noble guy-if he had been less than noble I would bet that history would have been different...
