Queen Elizabeth II has sent a tweet for only the second time, to thank people who offered her 90th birthday wishes on social media.
On the royal family’s official Twitter account, the queen wrote: “I am most grateful for the many digital messages of goodwill I have received and would like to thank you all for your kindness. Elizabeth R.” The “R” stands for “regina,” Latin for queen.
Another tweet added: “This tweet was personally sent by Her Majesty The Queen.”

Buckingham Palace issued a picture of the queen using a tablet computer atop an ornate desk at Windsor Castle.
The queen sent her first ever tweet in 2014 when she opened the Information Age gallery at London’s Science Museum.
