Google UK – The Queen and I

Queen's visit to Google's headquarters

If the queen was to award royal seal of approval to Google UK, it could read something like this “By Appointment To Her Majesty the Queen, Google UK, purveyor or Internet information” this would have entitled Google UK to join royal warranty holders association, and use the queen’s seal on their website. As customary to Google, they commemorate special occasions with a discreet alteration to their logo, on the occasion of the Queen’s visit to Google’s UK premises, the Queen’s head replaces the ‘g’ in the logo on their website.

While at Google’s UK headquarters, the Queen and Prince Phillips were given a virtual tour of Big Ben and Windsor Castle using Google Earth. The Queen also uploaded a footage to her YouTube channel. Prince  Philip ask Google staff to show him their own office using Google Earth, they could not find it, it happen that the aerial phone that powers Google Earth is yet to be updated since Google’s head office on Buckingham Palace road was built.

The Queen, compared with other monarchs is at the cutting edge of technology, she is on record as the first monarch to send an email way back in 1976, her website went online  21 year later in 1997 and her own YouTube channel was launched in November 2007.
