Queen Elizabeth 'livid' at betrayal after Nazi salute footage of her as a young child emerges
Mirror ^ | 07/18/2015 | RACHAEL BLETCHLY

Demanding to know how the private images got out of the collection in Windsor Castle, the Queen said she felt “betrayed” by “deliberate mischief making”.

The nation rallied behind the Queen as she was rocked by cruel Nazi smears.

The 89-year-old was said to be “livid” when courtiers told her footage showing her and the Queen Mother giving mock Nazi salutes in 1933 was released to a newspaper by someone with access to the highly restricted Royal Archive.

Demanding to know how the private images got out of the collection in Windsor Castle, she said she felt “betrayed” by “deliberate mischief making”.

As police hunted the culprit, who copied the clip before making it public, the monarch was said to be heartbroken that her childish antics were being seen around the world, linking her name to that of mass murderer Adolf Hitler.

But she was most hurt that the scenes also showed the Queen Mum, who died in 2002 aged 101, joining in the spoof.

An insider said: “The Queen was devoted to her mother and knows she, more than anyone, despised Hitler and inspired Britain to stand firm against the Nazis.

"She wants to know who leaked this film, how they got it, but most of all why they did it.”

Loyal subjects and fans from around the world leapt to the Queen’s defence, telling her: “We’re right behind you, Ma’am.”

Liberals demand perfection from their enemies; yet exempt themselves from that requirement.

While I sympathize with “private” archives being exposed to the public, she IS the Queen and if I were in her position, I’d have burned anything like this that could get out....
I wouldn’t trust even my corgis.....

That’s too bad. I admire the Queen - her father died partially from the stress of having to assume control after his wacky brother abdicated and his immediate family remained in London during the bombing when they could have easily decamped.

The Battenbergs are touchy about this. On the other hand, this says much, much more about the supposed adult Edward than it does about the child Elizabeth.

I’m livid and I don’t even care that much about the royals

It’s part of the cheap shot tactics the media uses to deflect complicity with the sick barbaric acttivties that they want us to get used to

To suggest that this family, any entity involved with the Brit government and military, had any nazi sympathy is horrible as well as false

Gee, to think that anything on a computer is safe? The only thing that is safe is all the records of our dear leader, the anti christ. No one will ever see his records. EVER!

Soon after Elizabeth became queen see came to the USA to visit her war time friend President Eisenhower. I as a child was lucky enough to see them as they were out and about in northern Virginia. Nice big limo of the old fashioned type.

The UK dodged a big bullet when Nazi symp Edward abdicated.

Churchill had him posted to Nassau under observation.

Well I’m not Buddhist so I don’t care about what people believe to be karma though it is accepted American secular ‘religion’ people won’t allow me to deny without admonishment

I do know that we have radical Islam and barbaric abortion to contend with, along with the gay movement who rather than being happy with the USSC ruling are continuing their harassment of the catholic clergy

i find it sloppy and cowardly to pile on. Karma bah. What did Queen Elizabeth ever do to you? blech

I agree with you on this. part of the problem is liberals have no standards to live up to and that conservatives have standards we try to live up to. so when they see one of us fail at theses standards they take glee in pointing i9t out.

A photo is worth 1000 words. Sadly context requires 1001.



Or maybe the same people actually mad at QE2 also think that the American military were Nazi supporters too?

She may regret that the monarchy eliminated drawing and quartering.
