“Today, as I visit the Science Museum I was interested to discover a letter from the Royal Archives, written in 1843 to my great-great grandfather Prince Albert,” she captioned the photo of the letter written by computer pioneer, Charles Babbage.
“In the letter, Babbage told Queen Victoria and Prince Albert about his invention the ‘Analytical Engine’ upon which the first computer programmes were created by Ada Lovelace, a daughter of Lord Byron.”
“I had the pleasure of learning about children’s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post,” she said.
The Queen then signed her name “Elizabeth R.” at the end of the caption to signify her first original post!
The Royal Family account caught the cute moment her Majesty posted her very first Instagram on video!
She removed her black glove and hit send to throw the letter up on the ‘Gram while a crowd sweetly cheered.
Who says a Queen can’t learn new tricks — even at 92?
