Queen Elizabeth may have been put in a bad light last months after photos of her in 1933 givine a Nazi salute leaked.
Aside from Queen Elizabeth, the photo also showed her uncle, Edward, her mother, and her little sister Margaret, doing the Nazi salute. According to rumors, Queen Elizabeth purportedly collapsed when she learned about the scandal.
“After the Nazi news broke, Her Majesty’s legs gave away and she crumpled in to a seat in her Buckingham Palace office,” Globe Magazine reported.
“The blood seemed to drain from her face, she was struggling for breath. It was a good 45 minutes before she began to regain her strength. Everyone was so alarmed.”
Reports claimed Queen Elizabeth is purportedly determined to clear her name from being associated with Adolf Hitler before she goes down the Throne and pass on the leadership of British Monarchy to Prince Charles.
“Queen Elizabeth is now focused on clearing her name before she hands the throne to Prince William and Kate,” a Palace insider reportedly said.
However, some speculated that it could be hard to come back from such a big scandal that paints the British Monarchy as sympathizers of Adolf Hitler following the "Nazi salute."
“The photos themselves are devastating to any political leader’s image,” Celeb Dirty Laundry wrote.
“But the Queen has some serious explaining to do after the royal family has vehemently denied for years their association with Adolf Hitler and the well-documented fact that some in the British Royal family were Nazi sympathizers and tried to cover this up after the Holocaust became public knowledge.”
However, one member of the Royal family is allegedly unfazed by the scandal – Camila Parker Bowles. Reports claimed that Queen Elizabeth's daughter-in-law is even allegedly planning to leak other secrets that would allegedly threaten the family's image apart from the Nazi salute. Some argue that the Royal family has the right to keep their history from the public eye.
“The Royal Family is entitled to the same protection of their family privacy as anyone else," the Queen's biographer, Robert Lacey, told The Guardian, as quoted by CBC News.
