To be fair, before Hitler stigmatised it, it was a pretty standard gesture. Not saying the queen isn’t a disgusting human being, but this picture probably isn’t actually of her doing the heil.
It could be, as @Aru@lemmygrad.ml said, a ‘Roman’ salute, which was already standard in Fascist Italy. (It’s highly unlikely to be a Bellamy salute: a U.S. phenomenon.)
I’ve researched this before and it’s highly likely that it was a heil (albeit maybe done ‘just for fun’ judging from the casual setting).
Because it was a casual environment (rather than something more formal like a school or a funeral) and the video likely wasn’t addressed to any Fascist officials either (being a mere home video), so there was no ceremonial obligation to perform one. The possibility that they did it mostly to amuse themselves wouldn’t contradict their profascism, of course.

Why would you do the salute “just for fun” ?
