A newly unearthed video shows the Queen giggling as she made small talk and chatted in French with world leaders at the G7 summit in 1991.
A clip from the 1992 BBC documentary 'Elizabeth R' showing members of the royal family at a drinks reception at Buckingham Palace has gone viral after it was posted on TikTok.
In the short video, the Queen, along with Prince Charles, then 43, and Princess Diana, then 30, can be seen making small talk with G-7 leaders in 1991, prior to Gulf War.
In one fascinating moment, the monarch, then 65, could be seen speaking to Ted Heath and US Secretary of State James Baker.
Heath, who was Prime Minster from 1970 to 1974, spoke of visiting Saddam Hussein in Baghdad.
After he told the Queen he had visited the country, she could be seen laughing, before touching his arm and saying: 'I know you did. But you are expendable now.'
Royal commentators were quick to comment on the video, with Valentine Low tweeting: 'What is noticeable here: 1. How well informed and articulate the Queen is and 2. How the men, including Heath, insist on talking over her.'
