Queen logs on to YouTube by LotusFlower

The Queen has uploaded her first video to YouTube.

The Royal family has had it's own channel since 2007 but this is the first time that she's uploaded something herself.

What people are really interested in though is 'What videos has she downloaded?'

The Queen of England has become the latest high-profile YouTube contributor.

In a visit to Google's UK headquarters on Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II posted a clip of a 1969 reception for British Olympians, the first such clip to be posted by a British monarch.

The clip is being hosted through the Monarchy's official YouTube channel, which was launched in late 2007 with a Christmas message from the Queen.

The visit from the Queen and her husband was part of a ceremony to recognize the winners of Google's 'doodle' contest, which asked schoolchildren to design an alternet logo for the search site.
