The Queen Takes YouTube By Storm

Wow times are changing. According to this article from BBC News, the Royal Family has opened it’s very own YouTube channel called “The Royal Channel - The Official Channel of the British Monarchy“.

There are old clips of the Queen’s previous addresses up for everyone to see and the annual Christmas Day message will be posted there as well. I think it is pretty cool such an institution in our history taking the step into a new technology and social media. I can only imagine though the Queen’s aides trying to explain to her the technology, etc. They probably had to go get Prince Harry or William to try to explain the whats and whys of it all.

The history of it all is pretty cool. They have historical clips dating back to the Queen’s accession to the throne along with her very first Christmas broadcast from 1957. Now the younger people of the UK all over the world can see a piece of their history at their fingertips.
