Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust."
Royals before her were viewed as distant, aloof, and even out of touch, by some.
During a visit to New Zealand in 1970, Elizabeth decided it was time for that to change.
According toCNN, the queen had a presence on social media before her own children did.
Her early adoption of these platforms allowed her to reach even more of her Commonwealth, now, instantaneously.
Prior to her first Instagram post, the queen had also become a Twitter user back in 2014.
In true Elizabeth fashion, as royal watchers, we are all now collectively looking toward the future.
Afterlong-standing reports of the queen’s declining health, QueenElizabeth II died on September 8, 2022.
Only time will tell in what direction this newly minted monarch intends to travel.
