Queen Elizabeth II said to have BlackBerry on order
No, that’s not Helen Mirren. That’s the real Queen Elizabeth II.
At the encouragement of her son Prince Andrew, Her Majesty is said to have a BlackBerry on order.
Not just for show, either. For years, reports have persisted that the Monarch is a personal Internet user. She also owns an iPod, which she has filled (or has had) filled with patriotic songs.
Somehow I don’t think the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy In The U.K.” is among them. Hmm, the Princess Diana tribute version of Elton John’s “Candle In The Wind?” Perhaps not.
