The Queen herself just posted on Instagram for the first time, to coincide with a royal visit to the Science Museum in London on Thursday. Her Majesty made her social media debut as she officially announced its summer exhibition, Top Secret, and unveiled a new space for visitors, called the Smith Centre.
The Queen, who wore her signature colour pop coat and hat combo for the visit, shared a snap of a letter written by computer pioneer Charles Babbage to her great-great-grandfather Prince Albert in 1843, along with a lengthy caption detailing how she'd browsed the museum's archive, and learned about children's computer coding initiatives.
"It seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors," she wrote. The Queen signed off her post Elizabeth R, but did not, much to our disappointment, include any crown emojis.
The royal family has ramped up its social media presence in recent years, with the Kensington Palace Instagram account – which shares snippets from official engagements carried out by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – proving especially popular.
Could a personal account for Her Majesty be next? Something tells us Grande's virtual crown is safe for now.
