LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II is now on Facebook — but she’s not going to be your friend.
Britain’s queen has launched a series of official pages offering the website’s 500 million users daily updates on her engagements, the royal household said Sunday.
The 84-year-old British monarch will be featured in videos, photos and news items on the site, which will be available starting today, alongside other members of the country’s royal family, including Princes William and Harry.
Users will be able to leave messages or comments for Buckingham Palace on the site and find details of royal events close to their homes.
However, because the pages will be corporate — and not a personal account — people won’t be able to request to become friends with the queen. A royal official said the queen had personally approved the plan but acknowledged she has not actually used the site herself.
