[00:01.68]- an ancient institution
[00:03.87]getting to grips with cutting edge technology
[00:06.26]- but the British royal family has been active online
[00:09.50]for more than a decade.

[00:13.43]The Queen's Christmas message
[00:14.73]is available as a podcast,
[00:16.47]and a year ago the official Royal Channel
[00:18.51]was launched on YouTube,
[00:20.02]showing videos of the family at work.

[00:28.60]and who keeps in touch
[00:29.65]with younger members of her family by email.
