Queen Elizabeth 2.0 - A Right Royal Podcast

Elizabeth Windsor, Queen of United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and sundry other remnants of the once British Empire, has moved into podcasting, starting her own YouTube channel and offering podcast downloads from her official website.

"I very much hope that this new medium will make my Christmas message more personal and direct," she said from her Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

"That it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another example of the speed at which things are changing all around us."

Clips from garden parties, state visits, prime ministers, investitures and a day in the life of the Prince of Wales will all be available to watch on the channel. (BBC)
