The group in the video - which also included the Queen's late sister, Princess Margaret - were apparently being encouraged by the Queen's uncle, the future King Edward VIII. The video shows the young future Queen briefly raising her right hand in the air three times, as well as dancing around excitedly and playing with a corgi. The images showing the alleged Nazi salute came from a 20-second black-and-white home movie, which The Sun reported was shot at the Royal family's rural Balmoral estate in Scotland in 1933 or 1934. While a royal source insisted the Queen would not have known the significance of the gesture at such a young age, the images threaten to cause deep embarrassment for the 89-year-old monarch.

'It is disappointing that film shot eight decades ago and apparently from personal family archive has been obtained and exploited in this manner,' a Buckingham Palace spokesman said in a statement.

The headline on the story read 'Their Royal Heilnesses' - a reference to the Heil Hitler greeting used in Nazi Germany.

The front page of The Sun showed the Queen, then aged about six, raising her right hand in the air as her mother, the late Queen Mother, does the same. Images allegedly showing a young Queen Elizabeth II giving a Nazi salute in the early 1930s have been published by British newspaper The Sun, with Buckingham Palace voicing disappointment over the incident.
