As unbelievable as it might sound, it’s true – Queen Elizabeth II has become a new influencer on social media, now that she’s posted on Instagram for the first time. It’s been as many as 43 years since Her Majesty sent her first mail, and after all those years, during her visit to London’s Science Museum, she decided to publish her first post on Instagram. She decided to share a letter sent by 19th-century mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage to Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert.

She posted on the official @TheRoyalFamily account: “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.”

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.  Charles Babbage, credited as the world’s first computer pioneer, designed the “Difference Engine”, of which Prince Albert had the opportunity to see a prototype in July 1843.  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.  Today, I had the pleasure of learning about children’s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors.

“Today, I had the pleasure of learning about children’s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors,” she added to the account’s 4.6 million followers.” She signed the post with “Elizabeth R.”

“We are honoured that while opening The Smith Centre at the Science Museum Your Majesty shared a post on Instagram for the first time,” the Science Museum wrote in a comment on the image.”

“We’re thrilled that the image is of correspondence from the Royal Archive between Charles Babbage and Your Majesty’s great-great-grandfather Prince Albert about the Difference Engine No.1 on display in our Making the Modern World gallery.”

The royals already have millions of followers not only on Instagram, but Facebook and Twitter, too. However, there were some abusive comments directed at the Duchesses of Sussex and Cambridge, so earlier this week, they had to issue some guidelines to social media users to avoid such inconveniences in the future. They were urged to show “courtesy, kindness and respect” when interacting, otherwise, they might as well be blocked.

The main reason why the Queen paid a visit to the museum was to announce the summer exhibition, as well as to unveil a new space for supporters.
