LONDON (July 25) -- Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is one web-savvy royal. The 84-year-old monarch has already given her royal stamp of approval to a Buckingham Palace Twitter feed and YouTube account. And from Monday, the queen will officially start showing and sharing her favorite family snaps on the Flickr photo site.
The online photo album will boast some 600 images when it debuts tomorrow, including many pictures of recent royal engagements and some classic shots of Queen Elizabeth's ancestors. Among the highlights is a rarely seen 1854 sepia-toned picture of a clearly besotted Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, that shows the couple in court dress, gazing lovingly into each others' eyes. Another black-and-white 1929 photo catches a cute and curly haired three-year-old Elizabeth enjoying a tea party with her parents -- King George VI and then-Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother.
The site also boasts a charming note sent to Elizabeth's mother by Clara Knight, nanny to the young princess. The letter, which accompanied a photograph of the future Queen and is dated March 8, 1927, reads: "If mummy looks into my wide open mouth with a little magnifying glass she will see my teeth. Elizabeth quite well and happy!"
Royal watchers will find it easy to browse around the site, as each family member has their own gallery. Prince William fans, for example, will find a collection photo album entirely dedicated to him, which includes shots of the second in line to the throne meeting wounded British soldiers, and hanging out with soccer star David Beckham ahead of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Those who prefer his younger brother, meanwhile, can flip through pics of Harry decked out in combat gear while serving in Afghanistan and doing charity work in the African kingdom of Lesotho.
Unfortunately, anyone wanting to leave messages about Diana, the Princess of Wales' glam frocks, or discuss the yellowing of Prince Charles' teeth, won't be able to share their thoughts on the site. Buckingham Palace has turned off the comments option on their account.
