The Royal House Of Windsor
Rating:
Protocol dictates that no commoner may lay a hand on a royal person. It’s a rule that courtiers occasionally have to impress on presidents and deluded celebs who imagine their status entitles them to a matey hug or a cuddle.
But a rare film clip, shot on board a Navy flagship in 1947 and revealed on The Royal House Of Windsor (C4), showed a cheeky midshipman really chancing his yardarm, by giving the 20-year-old Princess Elizabeth a saucy pat on the bottom.
Note to Young Hornblower: that is not what’s meant by ‘all hands on the lower deck’.
