It seems Queen Elizabeth II is trying to keep up with the times, and what better way than to go on YouTube?

Every year, Her Royal Highness, makes an annual Christmas broadcast to wish her subjects a happy holiday. The message was broadcast on television for the first time in 1957, and now, 50 years later, it'll also be available on YouTube on the aptly named "The Royal Channel". For those who want to have a listen on the go, you can also sign up to have it delivered to you as a podcast.

Her Majesty became the oldest living monarch in the United Kingdom's history this week, finally surpassing her own ancestor, Queen Victoria.
