Jonathan Sacerdoti, a journalist, spoke to Us WeeklyConcerning the possibility of Queen Elizabeth II opening a secret Facebook page. Sacerdoti initially spoke out against the possibility due to her age. “There’ve been reports that the queen has a secret Facebook account, which I can’t quite believe [because] she is 95 years old,”He started.
However, we have not stopped being amazed by the queen, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic, when online communication became the most effective way to communicate. “So, I have trouble sometimes with new technology, but she seems completely able to pick these things up,”Sacerdoti spoke of the queen. “We saw her during lockdown with all the Zoom calls and the video calls. And now, since her health’s been not quite as good as it was in the past, she’s been doing more [appearances] that way. And now we find out about the Facebook account. It’s extraordinary to think how readily and easily she picks up these new technologies.” Sacerdoti didn’t rule it out.
CBC also noted how adept the royal family is at social media via their public accounts. Prince Charles loves InstagramTwitter. Prince William and Kate Middleton frequently post on Instagram. It’s possible they could have private accounts, given their constant use of these social media accounts as well as the queen’s proficiency at Zoom. The queen scrolling through Facebook at night on Friday is as relatable as it gets.
