London: Queen Elizabeth posted her first tweet from her official twitter account from Buckingham palace in which she mentioned herself as Elizabeth R. Actually this credit goes to the director of museum Ian Blatchford who had invited Queen Elizabeth to mark the occasion on social media.
“I mentioned earlier that Queen Victoria took a great interest in the invention of the telephone, and Your Majesty has followed in this tradition of embracing new technology,” he told her. “You made the first live Christmas broadcast in 1957 and an event relished by historians took place on [March 26, 1976], when you became the first monarch to send an email, during a visit to the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment. May I now invite you to join me so that you may send your first tweet.”
The tweet’s author was then verified by the @British Monarchy account with a follow-up tweet and a photo of the Queen sending the message.
