LONDON (Reuters) – Britain's Queen Elizabeth
has joined Facebook, adding a presence on the world's most popular
social network to the royal family's accounts on Twitter, photo-sharing
site Flickr and YouTube.
The British monarchy's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/TheBritishMonarchy)
does not allow users to "friend" the Queen or to send
her messages, but offers updates on royal news and diary events.
By midday on Monday, a few hours after the page
went live, 60,000 people had clicked to signal they liked it,
meaning they will receive updates on the royal family's activities
in their Facebook news feeds.
The page does not display personal details such
as the Queen's relationship status, interests or political views.
And you can not poke the Queen
Britain's royal family prides itself on keeping
up to date with new technologies.
In 2008, the Queen uploaded a video to YouTube during
a visit to Google's London offices, in 2009 a British monarchy
Twitter account was launched, and a royal Flickr account was created
this year.
Facebook was launched in 2004 and now has more than
half a billion active users around the world.
