Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain in 92 for the first time published a photo in the official account of the royal family on Instagram.
She posted a snapshot of the letter of the famous mathematician and inventor of the XIX century, Charles Babbage to Prince Albert, writes Columnist.
For the publication of the photograph, the queen used her ipad after visiting the exhibition at the Museum of Science in London, reports the BBC.
“Today I had the pleasure of seeing initiatives to teach children to program, and it seems appropriate to me to publish this post from the Science Museum, which has long supported the advancement of technology and inspired new generations of inventors,” added Elizabeth II.
The video, published in the official Instagram of Buckingham Palace, shows how the Queen publishes the message:
During her long reign - the longest in British history - the queen saw many changes in technology.
In 1953, her coronation was aired on television for the first time in history. More than 500 thousands of televisions were sold additionally on the eve of this historic event. She also witnessed the advent of color television, mobile phones and the Internet.
Five years ago, the queen sent her first tweet, also during a visit to the Science Museum.
During that visit, she also opened an exhibit at the museum, which she tweeted about: “It gives me pleasure to open the Age of Information exhibit, and I hope people enjoy it. Elizabeth R ”.
Many wondered why the Queen calls herself “Elizabeth R” in all of these messages. Edition CS Monitor noted that in this way Elizabeth II signs official documents. The letter “R” means “regina” - “queen” in Latin.
Earlier it was reported that the queen Elizabeth II decided who will give the throne and the crown - some Britons were shocked by her choice, others found it logical and reasonable.
