Buckingham Palace defends footage of Queen's Nazi salute

Grab All Association

Buckingham Palace has defended footage from 1933 that shows a young Queen performing a Nazi salute with her family at Balmoral.

The film, obtained by The Sun, shows the Queen, then aged six or seven, join the Queen Mother and her uncle Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales, in raising an arm in salute as she played alongside her younger sister, Princess Margaret.

Who do you reckon will be more upset by this news, The British people/taxpayers they sponge off or the West Brits in Dublin 4 (who'd sign a oath of allegiance to her and waving their Union Jacks in the Phoenix Park in 2011) ?

You, when you don't achieve the aim of your trolling with a non-story.

6 year old makes a gesture that became offensive many years later?

That's like getting a Celtic cross tattoo and then going to a football match in Italy and realising it's a white power symbol.

She didn't know the symbolism when she made the gesture. The only people it will upset are those who don't like her, or the Royal family, or "Brits", or even your "West Brits" and who will insist it's significant.

You're trying too hard.

6 year old copies her mother and 80 years later a numpty attempts to milk it. :rolleyes:

Ah the old 'West Brit' cattle call. A sure sign of an insecure irishperson who resorts to nationalist Micky waving. The OP probably jizzed himself with excitement when he read the story this morning.

Oh no!!! Why didn't they warn us sooner! It's so obvious with hindsight now, to see how the Future Queen was able to undermine British democracy and morale which led to the inevitable Nazi victory in WW2.

Off with her head!

Nothing to worry about. Maybe we rode our luck the last day, but if Kerry improve as expected, we should get the job done today.

Typical Sun rag ****e ... Queen a nazi shocks the world zzzzzzzzz yawn ...

The Sun is showing its class yet again with this non-story. This was probably 10 years before the holocaust or WW2 at a time where the nazis were just another political party. But I'm sure that 8 year old child new exactly what the nazis were up to

this is the family that brings in more tourism money than they cost the state, right?

or are you talking about a different welfare sponger family that draws millions of people to the nation to gawp at them and purchase branded products?
