Britain's 81-year-old Queen Elizabeth II, considered an icon of traditionalism, launched her own special Royal Channel yesterday on YouTube.
On the Net:The Royal Channel: http://www.youtube.com/theroyalchannel

The Queen always keeps abreast with new ways of communicating with people," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "The Christmas message was podcast last year." The palace said, "She has always been aware of reaching more people and adapting the communication to suit. This will make the Christmas message more accessible to younger people and those in other countries."

Tomorrow, Queen Elizabeth II's annual Christmas speech can once again be downloaded as a podcast from http://www.royal.gov.uk. It also is being made available on television in high definition for the first time.

Video clips on the Royal Channel show shots of state visits, the queen, the many British prime ministers who have served during her reign, garden parties, and a day in the life of her son, Prince Charles.

Never thought the Queen would ever voluntarily be a part of "Reality TV".
Seriously I don't think this "state sanctioned channel" will be showing the escapades of Harry and Wils, or for that matter Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. I guess it's safe to say that the tabloids will still have carte blanche when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Very interesting, I'll have to check it out.

Is that Princess Beatrice on the right? My god, how time flies!
