British royals join Facebook

THE Queen has joined the Facebook generation with the launch of a British Monarchy page on the popular social networking site.

Millions of users will be able to log in and see royal images, videos and news when the entries go live this morning.

Facebook has become a global internet phenomena since it was started by Harvard undergraduate Mark Zuckerberg in 2004.

The royal page will also feature the Court Circular – the authoritative record of the previous day’s official Royal engagements.
