The Nazi salute became obligatory in Germany in 1933 and I imagine that this would have been reported in the UK at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute#From_1933_to_1945

So this photo could just be of a family taking the p*ss out of a bunch of fascists. I might have done the same had I been there.

30+ years later people were still doing that without many complaints:

There is also the possibility that they were doing the Olympic salute:

No not taking the p*ss, many of the royals were nazi sympathisers at the time.

As were much of the British establishment. Chamberlain certainly thought Hitler was an "honourable" man.

Back then Hitler was regarded as a great man for rescuing Germany from chaos. Had he not murdered a lot of people he didn't like ( gypsies, Jews, political opponents ) and not invaded Poland and France he would probably be a highly regarded man today ( especially if he destroyed Stalin and the Communists ).

Who gives a shit about a photo like this. It's fing stupid. I did so many hile Hitler salutes when a I was achild I couldn't count how many. It was fun and who gave a shit as a child.

Dead right, the queen was just a kid, now the queen mum and Edward the nazi, that's another thing.

not to mention what they did to diana,

and no i dont have proof, but i bet if you asked the uk normal people they know who got rid of her,
