Who was the last member of the royal family to be born in Germany?
The Queen served in the ATS during the war, as a mechanic.
The Bellamy salute is the salute described by Francis Bellamy, Christian socialist minister and author, to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, which he had authored. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazis adopted a salute which had the same form, and which was derived from the Roman salute. This resulted in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.

The Sun accused Brighton fans of chanting Seig Heil and giving nazi salutes at Millwall when the team took a corner.

but they arent. you'll find Croatian and Danish ancestry before German.
What is the relevance of that? Are you saying the Sun's claim that the Queen made a Nazi salute as a child is in fact a lie?

No, I think the point is that the Queen is obviously a Brighton fan. I'm sure I saw her at Millwall.

No, the Sun is claiming that the Queen is a Seagull, and she ran the Wall, at Cold Blow Lane, when Harry the dog (corgi ) ad it away on his toes

I'm saying that the Sun tells lies. Ask Liverpool fans.
You do realise this is captured on film?
Regardless of whether she did or didn't, she looks about six years old and couldn't possibly understand the symbolism or ramifications of her actions.
If I saw any six year old child making a nazi salute I wouldn't judge the child but I would judge the parents.

Good grief. She was passing on our secrets to the Nazis too, such as how to change the spark plugs on an Austen A6?
The Queen played pro-football to International standard?
