Buckingham Palace will investigate
on how the video footage showing Queen Elizabeth II making the Nazi salute
reached The Sun’s hands.
The palace will also take legal actions, considering that
the 17-second film clip belongs in the Royal Family’s highly-restricted private
archives. Queen Elizabeth II was greatly saddened after the video came out in
the public. The clip shows the Queen’s mother, then Duchess of York, and
younger sister, Princess Margaret, joining her as she makes the salute.
“There is mischief-making going on here and it is hurtful,”
a senior Royal insider said in an interview with the Sunday Mirror.
“Her Majesty is livid at the distortion of truth and
betrayal,” the inside continues.
The Queen is also “furious” because it damaged the
reputation of her late mother, who actually did so much to boost public morale
during the War years. It is believed that the Queen’s father, future King
George VI, was the one taking the footage. Another Royal source revealed that
that Queen wants to know why was the footage leaked.
The palace will employ the help of the police anytime now to
find out if the footage was really stolen from the Royal Archives in Windsor
Castle. The Sun has not revealed who
was the source of the video, but said “the original film remains under lock and
key.”
