In BBC documentary 'Elizabeth R: A Year in the Life of the Queen', broadcast in 1992, Her Majesty is surrounded by several of her grandchildren in the grounds of Balmoral Castle.

The Queen, then 66, is shown spending quality time with Prince William, Prince Harry, Zara Phillips, Princess Beatrice - as well as Eugenie - as they take horses trekking around the estate.

Having helped sister Beatrice, then four, mount a pony, she suddenly calls out "ouch".

She then added: "It is my foot you are standing on!”

The camera pans down to Eugenie who appeared to have wandered onto her famous grandmother.

However, all was quickly forgiven as the Queen took the little girl's hand and said: "Now shall we go that way?"

She said: “There a certain fascination in keeping the place as Queen Victoria had it.

“Nothing very much has changed.

“Luckily all the children, all the grandchildren like it.

“They sensed their freedom there too.

“One could go to miles and not see anybody.

“It is endless possibilities and we like picnics and open air.”
