Buckingham Palace reacted with fury after a photograph of the Queen performing a Nazi salute as a young girl was published by The Sun last night. The shocking 1933 footage shows Edward VIII teaching the Queen and her sister Margaret how to do the Nazi salute, in the gardens of Balmoral.
The publication of the 17-second film has outraged many across the nation who believe that the Queen cannot be held responsible for her actions as a girl playing with her family. Last night Buckingham Palace slammed The Sun, saying: 'It is disappointing that film, shot eight decades ago and apparently from Her Majesty's personal family archive, has been obtained and exploited in this manner.' A Palace spokesman added, 'the Queen and her family's service and dedication to the welfare of this nation during the war, and the 63 years The Queen has spent building relations between nations and peoples speaks for itself.'
