Recall, for example, her embrace of podcasting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/internet\/web\/download-podcast-of-queen-s-speech-131527\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/internet\/web\/download-podcast-of-queen-s-speech-131527\"><u>her Christmas address in 2006<\/u><\/a>, nearly a decade before most of us got on the podcasting train. Or the fact that she&rsquo;s had a presence on pretty much every major social media site since social media started&mdash;Her Majesty even has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/britishmonarchy\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/britishmonarchy\/\"><u>a Flickr account<\/u><\/a>! And that tech know-how really came in handy during the pandemic, when the Queen had to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/queen-elizabeth-ii-zoom-style\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/queen-elizabeth-ii-zoom-style\"><u>start holding Zoom conferences<\/u><\/a>.<br \/>But one rumor about her love of technology persists: Does the Queen have a secret Facebook account? According to royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti, it&rsquo;s very possible. &ldquo;There&rsquo;ve been reports that the queen has a secret Facebook account, which I can&rsquo;t quite believe [because] she is 95 years old..but she seems completely able to pick these things up,&rdquo; Sacerdoti <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/does-queen-elizabeth-ii-have-a-secret-facebook-account\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/does-queen-elizabeth-ii-have-a-secret-facebook-account\/\"><u>told <\/u><u><em>Us Weekly<\/em><\/u><u> this week<\/u><\/a>. Indeed, the rumor of the Queen&rsquo;s finsta (finbook?) have been circulating for years, but it&rsquo;s come up again recently alongside the report that the Queen has an MI6-approved anti-hacking phone on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.com\/celebrity\/queen-has-special-anti-hacking-phone-and-two-favorite-callers\/\"><u>which she accepts calls from her daughter and also her racing manager<\/u><\/a>.&nbsp;<br \/>&ldquo;We saw her during lockdown with all the Zoom calls and the video calls. And now, since her health&rsquo;s been not quite as good as it was in the past, she&rsquo;s been doing more that way,&rdquo; Sacerdoti continued. &ldquo;And now we find out about the Facebook account. It&rsquo;s extraordinary to think how readily and easily she picks up these new technologies.&rdquo;<br \/>And she wouldn&rsquo;t be the first royal to go the secret social media route. You might remember that Prince Harry had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.com\/celebrity\/a33429618\/prince-harry-secret-instagram-account\/\"><u>a private Instagram<\/u><\/a> with the handle @SpikeyMau5, which was revealed in the book about the Sussexes, <em>Finding Freedom<\/em>. The name was a nod to his <em>other<\/em> secret social media account, a private Facebook under the name Spike Wells, as well as a shout-out to his favorite DJ Deadmau5. Meghan Markle actually friended this secret IG before their relationship was even formally announced. (He has since deleted it, sadly.)&nbsp;<br \/>So what else does Sacerdoti say about the Queen&rsquo;s Facebook? &ldquo;I mean, we don&rsquo;t know the queen&rsquo;s pseudonym [there] and we also don&rsquo;t know how many friends she has,&rdquo; he said, adding, &ldquo;She hasn&rsquo;t yet accepted my request.&rdquo;<br \/>Other burning questions that remain unanswered: How long the Queen has had her Facebook, whether that timing coincided with the short-lived \u00ab\u00a0poke\u00a0\u00bb feature on Facebook, and whether the Queen ever &ldquo;poked&rdquo; or was &ldquo;poked&rdquo; on Facebook.&nbsp;<br \/>If you ever &ldquo;poked&rdquo; the Queen on Facebook, feel free to send us an anonymous tip.
