The front page story on Saturday’s edition of The Sun showed the Queen, then aged around six, briefly raising her right hand in the air as her mother does the same.

They were apparently being encouraged by the queen's uncle, the future king Edward VIII, who went on to meet Adolf Hitler and abdicated in 1936 over his desire to marry US divorcee Wallis Simpson.

The images come from a 20-second black and white home movie which The Sun reported was shot at the royal family's Balmoral estate in Scotland in 1933 or 1934 and has never been seen before.

Nick Ferrari, presenter at LBC radio in London says that he completely agrees that this is a gross invasion of the Queen’s privacy but also that he believes this story is in the public interest.
