Queen of England Visits Google Offices


Yesterday, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, visited with Google staff at the company's UK headquarters in London, News.com.au reports.

In honor of its distinguished guest, Google UK customized the homepage 'Google' logo, replacing the second 'g' with a silhouetted profile of the Queen and topping the final 'e' with an image of a crown. In addition to this online homage, the Queen received a thorough tour of the company's offices and services. While the Queen comported herself with, we're sure, her trademark graciousness, Prince Philip managed to give one casually dressed Google employee a good old-fashioned ribbing. "Just come back from jogging?" the Prince asked.

With a technological awareness remarkable for a woman of her generation, the Queen was apparently already familiar with the Google-owned YouTube, mentioning her own Royal Channel on that Web site. [From: News.com.au]
