While the conversation with carers was very much the first publicly-promoted video call Queen Elizabeth has taken part in, it might not be the first time she's ever logged into a video call app like Zoom or Webex. The Queen logged in with the username 'Windsor UK', which is a shame as you might have assumed she'd want to have gone for something a little more creative, like 'Her Maj', or 'Queen of F*cking Everything'. ieMyPWlNeV- The Royal Family June 11, 2020 To mark #CarersWeek2020, The Queen and The Princess Royal spoke to a group of carers who are supported by The to find out more about the challenges they face. The 94-year-old royal moved from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle three months ago, where she has been safely isolating along with husband Prince Philip - who celebrated his 99th birthday yesterday - and 22 members of staff. It's the first video conference call the monarch has taken part in, after her schedule was cleared back in mid-March due to fears surrounding coronavirus. In a video shared by The Royal Family's Twitter account detailing the call, Queen Elizabeth is seen in a floral dress and pearls, sitting at a computer screen with a sofa behind her.Īlso on the call was the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, and the pair chatted to various carers about their different experiences and the challenges they have faced. Her Majesty has appeared on her first public-facing video call, where she dialled in from the Oak Room at Windsor Castle to chat to members of the Carers Trust to mark Carers Week 2020. But on Friday, she’ll do her first face-to-face knighthood since before the pandemic, and she has invited Captain Tom Moore, the 100-year-old veteran who raised £32 million for the NHS and became a lockdown sensation, to Windsor Castle for the ceremony.If your parents have struggled getting to grips with video calls during lockdown, you can now point them in the direction of the Queen who, at 94, has proved age is no limit when it comes to technological capabilities.
In May, she spoke to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to celebrate Archie Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthday, and Kate Middleton has said that Prince George and Prince Charlotte love to send her “chatty videos.” In June, she did her first official call with Princess Anne and the leaders of the Carers Trust charity.Įven though the lockdown has lifted, the queen still hasn’t gone back to in-person events like the other members of her family. Since then, the queen has gotten pretty adept at it. Her first order of business? Installing Zoom on her beloved iPad. By mid-March, it became clear that normalcy would not be safe, and the queen was whisked to Windsor Castle, where she was joined by Prince Philip. “Well, I suppose that’s one way to train,” she said with a chuckle.įor the early weeks of the pandemic, the royal family committed to going about “ business as usual”-and that included in-person visits. Though we can probably assume that the queen has never seen the 1993 classic Cool Runnings, she clearly understood the humor in the situation. I've been pushing a car up and down the street!” “During the lockdown,” he said, “we have had to resort to unorthodox training methods.
His response was exactly what you might expect.
