England has given the world the most popular pairings— both fictional and non-fictional. No one can forget the most adored love story of Elizabeth and Mr Darcy that remains timeless. Also, the lifelong commitment of Queen Victoria to King Albert was immortalised in films and books as a testament to loving someone even after death. And who could forget the line from Notting Hill which ended all lines from other rom-coms of the ’90s? The forever memorable “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her” uttered by Anna Scott to William Thacker.
England, as a setting has witnessed many love stories. With its quaint cafes, charming bookshops, rolling hills, and picturesque castles, there is no surprise why it’s a place where people fall in love and stay in love.
