LONDON, Dec 23: Buckingham Palace on Sunday said the 81-year-old monarch will post her traditional Christmas Day message — normally broadcast on television — on the video-sharing website as well this year.
At the same time, a new Royal Channel has been unveiled on YouTube, allowing web surfers to view the queen’s first Christmas broadcast in 1957, as well as other archive footage of the royal family and its events.
The queen is said to be avid about using new technology to reach a wider, more diverse audience.
