A night out and a kiss goodbye

THE Queen and Prince Philip would never go out to dinner without saying goodnight to their young family.

If they were off to an official function, such as a film premiere, nannies would take the children into the corridor so they could wave goodbye.

Just before she manoeuvred her tiara and long dress into a car, the Queen would always look up to the nursery floor to see their anxious faces pressed against the glass.

Then she’d give them a wave, while Philip would blow a kiss.
