Palace 'disappointed' over British tabloid publishing image of Queen giving Nazi salute

London, July 19 (IBNS): The Buckingham Palace has expressed "disappointment" over the footage and images released by the British tabloid-The Sun-from 1933 showing young Queen Elizabeth II performing a Nazi salute.

The tabloid has published image of young Queen Elizabeth II performing a Nazi salute with her family in 1933, the year when Adolf Hitler came to power.

BBC News quoted the Palace as saying that it was "disappointing that film, shot eight decades ago... has been obtained and exploited."

The Sun has reportedly refused to share how it obtained the footage but said it was an "important and interesting story."

The black and white footage, which lasts about 17 seconds, shows the seven-year-old Queen playing with a dog in the garden of Balmoral. The Queen's Mother is then seen raising her arm in the style of a Nazi salute.

After glancing towards her mother, the Queen also mimics the same gesture. Prince Edward, the future Edward VIII, is also seen raising his arm.

The tabloid also published images of the same stunt on their website under the headline “Their Royal Heilnesses."
