Video of Queen Elizabeth playing with first grandchild resurfaces
Royal fans have gone wild over a resurfaced clip of the late Queen Elizabeth playing with her first grandchild when he was just a child.
In honour of Peter Phillips' 45th birthday, a royal fan account on Instagram shared the historic video of Her Majesty playing with Phillips in 1978.
The video showed an intimate moment in the royal nursery at Buckingham Palace, as Princess Anne presented her son Peter to her mother, the Queen.
As the mother and daughter sat on a floral patterned sofa, they were joined by one of the Queen's many dogs - which seemed to delight the one-year-old Peter as he gurgled and smiled.
Meanwhile his grandmother, the Queen, could be seen smiling down at him.
The clip was shared to Instagram with the caption, "Happy 45th birthday to Peter Phillips."
"Queen Elizabeth II with her daughter, The Princess Royal and grandson, 13 months old Peter at Buckingham Palace in December 1978."
The video has racked up over 10,000 likes, with a flood of comments praising the late Queen for always being a doting grandmother.
One person wrote, "The Queen was such a sweet grandmother."
Another royal fan said, "Wonderful. Her first grandchild. She looks so happy. Missing our Queen so much."
"I love how much the Queen loved her dogs, let them on her furniture, loved her grandbabies and taught them about loving pets too," said a third.
"You can tell so much about people who are kind to animals. God bless beautiful Queen Elizabeth. Happy Birthday Peter Phillips."
