Some down market newspapers today have printed photographs of the Queen, aged 7 years old, practising the Nazi salute, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/queen-elizabeth-II/11748024/Buckingham-Palace-disappointed-at-1933-footage-released-by-The-Sun.html

Is there a public interest justification for printing the pictures?

Or is it disrespectful to her majesty?

Surely engineered and published to bring unneccesary distress to the poor Queen in her 90th year. Disgraceful. The Sun should be sued for receiving/publishing stolen material. Just a childish action that has been done over the years - how many children have put their finger across their top lip to look like a moustache and raised their arm and said Heil...

I agree a fuss over nothing. The antics of the Windsors nowadays are about on par with the antics of the Kardashians.

And if "public interest" as opposed to the public being interested was a hard & fast criteria then most popular newspapers would be near empty.

It has done exactly what it was intended to do. Push up sales of The Sun and so increase it's advertising revenue, which is based on sales.

Only since the advent of potty political correctness have people tended to bristle at the slightest perceived indiscretion - in fact many seem to actively seek out reasons to bristle and spend much of their lives in full bristle mode. Sqad has told us that //In the 30's and 40's all kids did the " Nazi Salute" and shout " Heil Hitler."// and as Zacs said, Freddie Starr made a career out the the Nazi salute. I don’t think it did the fortunes of the cast of ‘Allo Allo’ any harm either. Treading on eggshells is now de rigueur.

Freddie Star and the cast of ‘Allo Allo’ were mocking and Star did not make a living doing it, he had more to his act than that.

Eddie wasn't mocking so I doubt the Queen to be was (granted she was only a child) perhaps Eddie was trying a bit of indoctrination on her?

An engineered fuss about nothing by the newspaper concerned.
The Queen was a little girl, for goodness sake.

I thought it strange when I read your opening passage to this thread.

Gromit a known anti-British, anti Royalty ABer, seemingly being sympathetic to her majesty, but then his true feelings finely came out..

/// Edward VIII'A Nazi sympathies have been well known for decades.
So the interpretation that this was mockery of Hitler is somewhat kind.
I doubt it was mockery. ///

Surely this is just another 'non-story' as you often accuse some other's post as being?

A non story. Get a life. Acting for the known Hitler sympathiser. Children did as they were told in that era
