The loving moment Queen Elizabeth plays with baby Prince Charles in unearthed 1940s clip

So sweet!

Unearthed black and white film from the royal archives shows Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip playing with a baby Prince Charles

The sweet vintage film shows the Queen pushing Charles in his pram during a stroll in the gardens. 

The footage was taken after the Queen and Duke returned home from their visit to the Chanel Islands.

Charles is dressed in a lacy white outfit, and is lifted out of the pram by a doting Philip, who then sits him on his lap. 

Knelt down on a blanket laid out on the grass, Queen Elizabeth sits with a teddy bear looking on lovingly as Charles plays with his toy.

The baby then gives a couple of adorable sneezes, making the Queen chuckle. 

The final clip shows Charles pulling on her elegant pearl necklace while she holds him and laughs adoringly.
