Queen's home movies that made Wills and Harry gasp: From a young Prince Philip off his trolley to Charles and Anne buried in the sand, the Queen's home videos that reveal intimate moments of the Royal family

Wherever she goes it is always at hand, the last thing to be packed away in her travelling bag and the first to be taken out. Ever since her father gave her a Box Brownie before World War II, a camera has been as indispensable a part of the Queen's life as her famous handbag. 




When the technology advanced, so, too, did the Queen, becoming a proficient user of the cine camera. And she has demonstrated an effortless knack of capturing her family at their most informal and most relaxed. The ageing cine film was made available to the BBC for a remarkable family tribute shown last night, narrated by Prince Charles. Pictured is Princess Margaret pulling Prince Charles in a red toy cart (top left) at Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire, the Duke of Edinburgh racing down a hill (top right), the Queen eating lunch outside (bottom left) and Princess Anne and Charles covering themselves in sand (bottom right).
