THE Royal Family has shared adorable footage of The Queen playing with her younger sister Margaret to mark Her Majesty's 94th birthday.
The Queen is spending her big day with Prince Philip at Windsor Castle where they've been isolating since the government guidelines were announced last month.

Earlier today, The Royal Family's Twitter account posted a message thanking royal fans who had wished The Queen a happy birthday.
It read: "In this private footage from [the Royal Collection Trust], we see The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, with her family, including her younger sister Princess Margaret."
The sweet black-and-white footage opens with the Queen as a toddler being pushed in a pram by her mother while she strings along a toy horse in the late 1920s.
It then jumps to The Queen and a young Princess Margaret playing on a seesaw and posing with pet dogs in the garden at Hatfield House in Herefordshire.
The two little girls are also filmed putting on a play outside and happily getting stuck into some gardening with their mother.
What's more, the footage reveals The Queen's life-long love of animals as a young Princess Elizabeth is seen riding her horse and allowing a bird to walk along her arms and up onto her shoulders.
The final frame - now in colour - shows the two girls performing a dance routine they'd choreographed.
Although The Queen's birthday has fallen during the pandemic this year, she will be celebrating with virtual Zoom calls with her loved ones.
According to the Daily Mail, royal aides have been working to find a time for the The Royal Family - including The Queen's eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren - to catch up over a virtual Zoom call.
Since the lockdown, the Royal Family have been using video calls to engage with charities and key workers amid the coronavirus crisis.
Appearing on BBC Breakfast last week to discuss their Every Mind Matters campaign, Prince William and Kate Middleton confirmed that they have a Royal Family zoom group.
He said: “We have, we’ve done many a family thing. We’ve been talking to all our family online. And it’s been a really good way of keeping in touch.”
Last week, Prince Harry conducted a video call from LA with parents in the UK who are caring for seriously ill children at home during the coronavirus lockdown.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle also had an emotional Zoom call with inspirational women who are helping to feed families in need during lockdown.
Prince Charles mastered the video call as he opened the NHS Nightingale in London remotely from the Scottish Highlands where he was recovering from coronavirus.
Earlier today, Prince William and Kate Middleton wished the Queen a ‘very happy’ 94th birthday while Charles shared even more throwback childhood photos.
