Royal's home-movie shows the Windsors really DO know how to have fun | Mail Online

Taken from reels of never seen before home movie footage, it offers a rare glimpse of the Queen and her family in relaxed 'off duty' mode.

From a gangly Prince Philip racing his son, Prince Charles, on a children's tricycle, to a young Princess Elizabeth dancing a sailor's reel with her mother, the ageing cine film is a charming record of happy days gone by.

Now it is among the highlights of a new exhibition at Buckingham Palace – Royal Childhood – which opens to the public tomorrow.
"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'." Diana Vreeland.
