Even by your standards, comparing nazi salutes to 'flossing' is exceptional. Bravo.

Are you saying The Queen is a Nazi then?

Where have I said that?

Just because her dad was mates with Adolf, it doesn't mean she was/is a nazi.

Don't forget, she was only a child in that family photo of them all doing the Nazi salute.

It was her uncle that got friendly with Hitler.

That's ok then.

What about the Mountbatten geezer who was plotting to overthrow an elected UK govt in the 70's. Does that count?

I'm not counting or okaying anything, I simply corrected Gary the plumber that it was her uncle.

Are you certain that her dad wasn’t pally with Adolf?

No I'm not certain. I just thought you mixed him up with Edward V111.

To give the present Queen's father his due. I believe he was given the option of emigration in 1940 but he stayed put. A staunch Royalist I am not. I think that the Royal Family infantilizes modern debate in the UK - popular media is usually servile.
