QUEEN ELIZABETH’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO BE BROADCAST VIA YOUTUBE
December 23rd 2007 20:32
This year Queen Elizabeth II gets with it, delivering her Christmas Message via a YouTube channel that the Royal Family has launched.
The Royal Channel will feature the annual Christmas Day message as well as recent and historical footage of the queen and other members of the family.
The launch of the YouTube channel will mark the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s first televised Christmas Address in 1957.
The Guardian reported that the queen “was not immediately acquainted with the YouTube phenomenon” but personally approved the channel after encouragement from her family, including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie who are said to be Facebook fans.
The Queen's Christmas message is a tradition in Commonwealth countries and is usually broadcast in full in most of them. As well holding the position of Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, HRH Elizabeth II is also Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
