العائلة المالكة البريطانية والتكنولوجيا الحديثة

Welcome to BBC Xtra English. Today, Cath and Liliane are talking about the British Royal family.

Is the British Royal family aware of modern technology?

The Queen has recently been visiting the London headquarters of Google, the internet search company.

The Queen also uses the internet and you could call her a silver surfer - because of her age.

So it seems that the royal family is aware of cutting-edge technology.

Our BBC correspondent said that the Queen also met with Peter Oakley, another famous silver surfer.

He uses the internet to post video diaries and wants other silver surfers to do the same because he feels they've got so much to tell.

Even though the Royal Family is an ancient institution, the Queen uses modern technology and knows how to upload videos onto the internet.

Do you know any silver surfers? Are you a silver surfer? Write to us in English.
