Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II sent her
first ever tweet during a visit to a
museum Friday, signing it and even removing a glove to
post it.The 88-year-old’s Twitter debut came
during a visit to London’s Science
Museum as she opened a new gallery
dedicated to the history of
communication and information.
The queen has gamely tried to keep up
with new technologies during her 62-
year reign.
She received a mobile phone as a
present from her son Prince Andrew in
2001 and sent her first official email
in 2009 but is reportedly bemused by
her subjects’ requests for “selfies”
on royal walkabouts.
“It is a pleasure to open the
Information Age exhibition today at
the @_ScienceMuseum and I hope
people will enjoy visiting. Another tweet on the same account
shortly afterwards said that the
previous one was “sent personally by
The Queen”, adding its own hashtag
for the event — #TheQueenTweets.
While news of her latest first spread
rapidly on Twitter, the queen has not
always taken to new technology with
such ease.
The US ambassador to London,
Matthew Barzun, said she told him she
finds it “strange” to be confronted
by people holding up mobile phones
wanting to take pictures and selfies
on royal visits.
“She was essentially saying: ‘I miss
eye contact’,” Barzun told Tatler
magazine last month.
