92-летняя королева Великобритании Елизавета II опубликовала свой первый пост в «Инстаграме»

92-летняя королева Великобритании Елизавета II опубликовала в четверг свой первый пост в «Инстаграм». Об этом сообщил Букингемский дворец.

Это взятая из архива копия фотографии письма, которое в 1843 году изобретатель первой аналитической машины Чарльз Бэббидж написал ее прапрадеду — принцу Альберту.

В пояснении королевы к посту говорится, что в письме Бэббидж рассказывает Альберту о своем изобретении.
