Reading that the Queen "surfs the web" reminded me of a brief conversation I had with HM. A couple of years I was invited to attend the new royal website launch at Buckingham Palace where after a speech by Sir Tim Berners-Lee the Queen pressed a button and shook a few hands.
At a function a week later I had the opportunity to talk directly with the Queen about her use of the internet. I asked her about her website - cue quizzical look - and then asked her about her youtube channel, same look, and then her twitter account - very quizzical look.
What was apparent is despite what her PR people say the Queen is no avid user of the internet - no surprises there. That's certainly no crime for a lady in her 80's but the next time you read about the Queen tweeting, surfing the web, facebooking, or watching youtube realise there is about as much chance of this as her traveling on a bus. Not impossible but very unlikely.
