It might seem like an unlikely match
- an ancient institution
getting to grips with cutting edge technology
- but the British royal family has been active online
for more than a decade.
They launched their own website in 1997.
The Queen's Christmas message
is available as a podcast,
and a year ago the official Royal Channel
was launched on YouTube,
showing videos of the family at work.
Royal watchers describe the 82 year old Queen as a silver surfer
- someone who's enthusiastic about the internet
and who keeps in touch
with younger members of her family by email.
