Video at the heart of The Queen's new look website
According to this article on the BBC, the Queen has this week redesigned (obviously not personally!) and relaunched her website.
The site went live at a Buckingham Palace reception attended by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, widely recognised as the world wide web’s inventor. The royal site, which started in 1997, now includes more video material as well as historical documents.
About 250,000 people around the world visit the site each week.
Apparently, The Queen stood in front of a bank of nine screens and clicked a remote control to re-launch the site. The Monarchy site’s homepage appeared showing a range of simple menus and tabs which it is hoped will make it easier to navigate.
To check out the revamped site visit Royal.gov.uk
It’s also worth noting that Royal.gov.uk is not the only presence the Queen has on the internet. In 2007, she launched her own channel on the video-sharing website YouTube.
