Queen Elisabeth on Facebook?! by Barbora Misakova

Do you belong among active Facebook fans? Are you enjoying all those fan pages and LIKE-ings? And do you like British Royal Family? If all your answers were “yes”, then you would probably appreciate new Queen Elizabeth’s Facebook profile. Can you imagine this small, elderly lady as cyber pirate? If you don’t, you are not alone. She neither does. And for those who hope this 84-year-old British monarch is going to become their Facebook friend, they are going to be off luck. Although royal official said the queen had personally approved the plan, she has acknowledged she actually will not use the site herself. As pages will be corporate, not simple pers! onal account, people will not be able to request to become friends with the queen. They will neither be able to see her personal statuses or other personal information. Users will be “only” able to leave messages or comments for Buckingham Palace on the site and find some details of royal events close to their homes. Fans will be able to see Queen Elisabeth in many videos, photos and also actualized news items on the site, in which also other members of the country’s royal family will be mentioned. Series of official pages that Queen Elisabeth has launched will offer the website’s 500 million users daily updates on her engagements. For fans of British Royal Family it is more than great news. But for common user of Facebook it means actually nothing. Clicking on “Like” will not get you closer to the Queen neither to other members of the country’s royal family and information you will get are easily accessible anyway thanks to newspap! ers and TV news.
