The Queen's well publicised visit to Google's UK headquarters appears to have been a success.

The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the search giant's London offices and met software engineers, senior managers, as well as other staff members from both Google and YouTube.

The royal couple were given demos of various Google products from search to Google Earth and were apparently "reduced to giggles" by the famous YouTube clip of a baby with a particularly infectious laugh.

The Independent reports that Philip asked a Google worker, who was dressed casually in a hooded top, chinos and trainers like most of his colleagues: "Just come back from jogging?"

  • It is nice to see that the royal family do have a sense of humour and can be down to earth also.
    I for one have always been a loyal supporter of the royal family and always will be, we dont want to be like the americans with just a president. It is something us british should be proud of!!

  • Why do Brits love it when the Royals behave in a "down to earth" fashion? There is nothing especially remarkable about them as individuals, apart from being born into a Royal family, so what is the point of wanting them to behave like normal people?

    As far as I can tell they are just a bunch of unattractive, unintelligent freeloading Germans. Get rid of the lot of them.
