"The black-and-white film from the year Adolf Hitler came to power purports to show future British king Edward VIII instructing his nieces, the current monarch Elizabeth, aged about six or seven at the time, and her three-year-old sister, Princess Margaret, how to perform the Nazi salute."

"It shows a young Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, raising her hand in the air in the style of a Nazi salute, an apparent youthful pantomime. The queen mother and Elizabeth’s uncle, Prince Edward, who would become King Edward VIII, also make the gesture...commentators have praised the newspaper for prodding a historical reckoning, saying it could enhance understanding of the royal family’s attitudes toward Nazi Germany, in particular those of Prince Edward, who has been accused of sympathizing with the Nazis...The film shows members of the royal family at their Balmoral estate in rural Scotland."

"The footage is thought to have been shot in 1933 or 1934, when Hitler was rising to prominence as Fuhrer in Germany but the circumstances in which it was shot are unclear...BBC Royal correspondent Sarah Campbell said Buckingham Palace was not denying the footage was authentic but that there were 'questions over how this video has been released'...In October 1937, Edward and his wife - by now the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - visited Nazi Germany with the idea of discussing becoming a figurehead for an international movement for peace on Hitler's terms...During the controversial visit they met Hitler and dined with his deputy, Rudolf Hess...From the Palace perspective this is a six-year-old princess who didn't attach any meaning to the gesture. Such an explanation doesn't, of course, explain the thinking of her mother."

"The footage of the Queen’s alleged Nazi salute is an anomaly, with the remainder of the Royal Archives, housed in Windsor Castle’s Round Tower, that deal with any relationship between the Windsors and the Nazis sealed. They include correspondence between the British Royal Family and their German relatives that would reveal the full extent of the family’s connections to the Third Reich in the lead-up to WWII...Churchill employed a top-secret team called 'the weeders', sent to Berlin to find and conceal anything that documented the duke’s interactions with Hitler and Nazi officials, to protect the Royal Family’s reputation."
