The Sun has published a film which shows the Queen aged about seven, with her mother, sister and uncle.
The newspaper has refused to say how it got the footage but said it was an "important and interesting story".
The black and white footage, which lasts about 17 seconds, shows the Queen playing with a dog on the lawn in the gardens of Balmoral, the Sun says.
The Queen Mother then raises her arm in the style of a Nazi salute and, after glancing towards her mother, the Queen mimics the gesture. Prince Edward, the future Edward VIII, is also seen raising his arm.
The footage is thought to have been shot in 1933 or 1934, when Hitler was rising to prominence as Fuhrer in Germany but the circumstances in which it was shot are unclear.

That's just her surname. She changed her first name to Elizabeth from Shakira.
