Many celebrities, companies, and common folk have taken to Twitter, sharing their thoughts around the world to anyone willing to listen (or read). Among these Tweeters, The Queen.

While opening the Information Age Gallery at the London Science Museum, 88-year old, Queen Elizabeth II sent out her first tweet through @BritishMonarchy. Though the message was written prior to adding her John Hancock, the Queen signed Elizabeth R, R standing for her middle name Regina.
It is a pleasure to open the Information Age exhibition today at the @ScienceMuseum and I hope people will enjoy visiting. Elizabeth R. — BritishMonarchy (@BritishMonarchy) October 24, 2014
The galley was created in honor of the many forms of information over the past 200 years, housing 800 items.
Welcome to the age of Social Media, Your Majesty!
