MANILA, Philippines – Queen Elizabeth II debuted on Friday, October 24, her very first personal post on Twitter.
The British monarch took time to personally tweet using the @BritishMonarchy Twitter page – originally being managed by palace representatives – and share her experience in opening a new exhibit at the Science Museum in London.
It is a pleasure to open the Information Age exhibition today at the @ScienceMuseum and I hope people will enjoy visiting. Elizabeth R.
— BritishMonarchy (@BritishMonarchy) October 24, 2014The queen ended the tweet with a signature “Elizabeth R.”. A Today News article states that R stands for “Regina,” the Latin word for queen.
Her tweet was immediately followed by a post – this time from a palace representative – confirming that the earlier post was indeed from the Queen.
The last tweet was sent personally by The Queen from her official Twitter account @BritishMonarchy #TheQueenTweets
— BritishMonarchy (@BritishMonarchy) October 24, 2014Netizens noted that the queen’s tweet was sent “via Twitter for iPhone,” yet photos show that the queen tweeted using an iPad. But a palace spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that they’re “not going to get into the processology of this.”
The @BritishMonarchy page, which was created on April 2009, shows “updates, pictures and videos from Buckingham Palace about the work and activities of The Royal Family and the institution of Monarchy.”
As of the posting, it has around 765,000 followers. – Rappler.com
