The Queen Launches New-Look Royal Web Site

The Queen Launches New-Look Royal Web Site

The Queen is to launch an overhauled version of the Royal.gov.uk web site at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace alongside World Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

Royal.gov.uk was launched in 1997 and currently enjoys about 250,000 visits a week. The site was visited over 100 million times in its first year, and recorded an astounding 35 million hits in the week after Princess Diana's death.



The official Royal website is not the Queen's only online presence. The monarch launched her own YouTube channel in 2007 which features her Christmas speeches as well as other royal video footage.
