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)

sure its great the Queen is podcasting.
two corrections to the BBC piece. The Queen started to podcast the Christmas day message in 2006 not 2007.
and the Quote
"I very much hope that this new medium will make my Christmas message more personal and direct,"
was from her 1957 message not new to 2007 but 50 years on and with her jump into YouTube isn't it so apt now as it was then when she was referring to Television as the Royal Christmas Message has been radio broadcast since 1932. With so many visual aids now I think the producers should do a more personal long form audio version, the Queen Audio Blog at Christmas.
