The one-minute video was posted to the royal family's official Instagram account and features the queen as a young toddler playing with her late sister, Princess Margaret. Her love of animals is also on display as the rare footage shows adorable clips of her cuddling with puppies and birds.
"Happy Birthday, Your Majesty! Thank you for your messages today, on The Queen's 94th birthday. In this private footage from the @royalcollectiontrust, we see The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) playing with her family, including her younger sister Princess Margaret," the account captioned the video.
"Head of the Commonwealth, Head of the Armed Forces, Head of State in 16 countries and the longest reigning Monarch in British History. Wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Happy birthday, Your Majesty!" the post continues.
"To those of you also celebrating your birthdays today at home, with or without your loved ones - we send you many happy returns."
