The BBC reports that the British Royal Family has joined Twitter. You can follow them @BritishMonarchy. The article says the Queen and Prince of Wales are aware of the Twitter account but they won't be typing in any tweets themselves.
A spokeswoman said it had signed up to harness the popularity of Twitter to spread news about the Royal Family.
It will provide details of royal engagements as well as link to information about what members of the family are doing. But the spokeswoman said neither the Queen nor other members of the Royal Family would be tweeting personally.
"The intention," she explained, "is that it is a news service rather than a personal voice."
