BUCKINGHAM PALACE RECENTLY LAUNCHED ITSELF AS A TWEETER, AS USERS OF THE SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE ARE KNOWN, AND IS PROMISING REGULAR UPDATES ON WHAT SENIOR ROYALS ARE GETTING UP TO. A QUICK LOOK AT THE SITE REVEALS ANNOUNCEMENTS OF RECENT ROYAL'S EVENTS SUCH AS THE QUEEN HAVING RECEIVED THE INCOMING POET LAUREATE, PROFESSOR CAROL ANN DUFFY,AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND A LINK TO THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD. BY THIS MORNING ITS HAD 566 POSTINGS AND ALREADY ATTRACTED 5,288 FOLLOWERS (WHICH I AM ONE, NOW) EAGER TO LEARN ABOUT THE COMINGS AND GOINGS OF THE QUEEN, PRINCE PHILLIP, PRINCE ANDREW, CHARLES AND CAMILLA. A SPOKESMAN FOR BUCKINGHAM PALACE SAID: 'THE QUEEN HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT IT'S UP AND RUNNING BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY TWEETING. THE PAGE WILL BE RUN AS A NEWS AND INFORMATION SERVICE WITH LISTINGS OF ENGAGEMENTS AND UPDATES TO ROYAL WEBSITES.' DESPITE RECENTLY CELEBRATING HER 83rd BIRTHDAY, THE QUEEN IS REMARKABLY COMPUTER LITERATE. SHE FREQUENTLY USES THE INTERNET, TEXTS HER GRAND-CHILDREN AND EVEN HAS AN I-POD. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, MEANWHILE, IS A PROLIFIC 'GOOGLER'.
