Philip plays with Charles and Anne in archive footage

Prince Philip, along with The Queen, was filmed pushing Prince Charles and Princess Anne on a swing at Balmoral in archive footage from the mid-50s.

The film was shot on the grounds of Balmoral Castle, a Royal Family estate near Aberdeen in Scotland. The footage, from September 1955, shows Prince Philip playing with young Charles and Anne on a swing set and goes on to show the family sitting and speaking to the camera, and playing with a dog.

Philip died at the age of 99 on April 9.
