The Royal Channel Goes Live on YouTube

The Queen (Yes.. of England) is set to post her annual Christmas message on YouTube competing with clips of skateboarders and somersaulting dogs (Egad!) according to the Times Online. The broadcast, her 50th since the message was first televised, will help to launch a royal channel on the video sharing website. Fans will be able to view rare archive footage as well as clips of royal tours overseas and users will be able to rank the videos by giving them a star rating. The channel went live just after midnight last night and is a royal first. By tapping into the YouTube community, the Queen’s advisers hope she will be able to broaden her appeal.

As the Beatles said: .. she’s a pretty nice girl..
