of communication and has heralded the channel as a way to "...make the Christmas message more accessible to younger people and those in other countries." The channel offers clips from throughout the Queen's reign, important events in the royal calendar and links to other sites of royal interest.
The launch of this YouTube channel is quite incredible. It demonstrates a couple of things. It shows that sites like YouTube are becoming more important to organisations who want to spread information to a large volume of people.

The Queen obviously feels that YouTube has some sort of status on the World Wide Web and as a result has chosen them to help her broadcast the royal message. The obvious benefit for YouTube is the royal seal of approval for their site, boosting their status and, no doubt, business.
