Photos: Google’s Royal appointment
By Maggie Holland,
Search giant Google – home to many innovations – today played home to a rather special guest in the form of a visit from the Queen.
Her Majesty and husband HRH the Duke of Edinburgh graced the company’s London Victoria headquarters with their presence earlier on today to experience what the company has to offer.
"We were honoured to welcome the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to our London office,” said Nikesh Arora, president of Google in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). “Both the Queen and the Duke took a great interest in our technology and it was wonderful to see the Queen personally upload a video to YouTube."
During their visit, the Queen and the Duke was given a tour and discussion about a range of Google-related topics including search, mobile technology, online advertising and its impact on the economy and Google Earth.
In addition, they were given the opportunity to meet with the top 16 entrants from this year’s Doodle 4 Google competition.
