Your Highness Queen Elizabeth confirmed that she uses Skype to chat with her grandchildren.
The 89-year-old Queen of Britain who set the record for the longest reign ever, shared this interesting piece of information during her yearly visit to the Sandringham's Women's Institute, also termed as "WI" in the United Kingdom. She said that uses Skype to chat with her granddaughter Zara Phillips, reported Vanity Fair.
People quoted the vice-president of WI and chair of the group, as saying, "She's very much in the modern world, and as most grandparents know, if they want to keep in touch with their families these days that's what they have to do." He continued to say that Queen Elizabeth has only missed four or five meetings since 1943 and that for one day, she is only a common WI member, not a Queen.
She has been visiting the WI for 72 years in a row, and this year was the 100th anniversary celebration of the Institute.
Browne also shared some details how she savors her tea, sharing that the Queen has ordinary Yorkshire tea with milk. He further added, "We are led to believe that she likes gingerbread, but she likes fruit cake and shortbread very much as well. We tend to have all those things on the plate, just in case!"
Apart from the homemade cake and the afternoon tea, she loves to watch Maureen perform. Maureen is a local entertainer and whenever she starts her small show, the Queen reportedly bursts out in laughter.
