Legal action possible over royal Nazi salute picture

Buckingham Palace is considering taking legal action over leaked footage that shows Britain’s Queen Elizabeth as a child performing a Nazi salute with her family.

The palace has launched an inquiry into how the 17-second black and white film came into the hands of The Sun newspaper.

It shows the Queen, aged six or seven, join the Queen Mother and her uncle Prince Edward in raising an arm in salute as she played alongside her younger sister, Princess Margaret.
