ROYAL SEAL OF APPROVAL FOR GOOGLE



Google Inc received the royal seal of approval on Thursday when it added a picture of the Queen to the logo on its British homepage to mark her visit to its London offices on Thursday.

The Queen's profile makes an appearance in the 'Google doodle' to mark her majesty's visit to the company's UK headquarters.

The logo ran for just a day – as the company crowns (ahem) a good year with a high profile royal visit.

Technoqueen:

The British royal family is certainly not shy when it comes to embracing technology – and has been running a YouTube channel since the end of last year.
Google employees has shown Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip several of Google's key business areas, including the search engine that catapulted the company to world dominance.
The Google doodle has become an increasingly iconic symbol of events – with changes reflecting events as diverse as the Olympic Games and St Patrick's Day.
