Queen Elizabeth II has launched her own channel on the video-sharing website YouTube.

The Royal Channel will feature her Christmas Day message, and has recent and historical footage of the monarch and other members of the Royal Family.

The launch marks the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s first televised festive address in 1957.

The palace said it hoped the site would make the 81-year-old monarch’s annual speech “more accessible to younger people and those in other countries”. [BBC]

The Xmas message video has garnered 346,084 views at the time of writing; I guess the Queen is not doing too bad as a Youtube debutant :)
