No, that’s not Helen Mirren. That’s the real Queen Elizabeth II.

At the encouragement of her son Prince Andrew,  Her Majesty is said to have a BlackBerry on order.

Not just for show, either. For years, reports have persisted that the Monarch is a personal Internet user. She also owns an iPod, which she has filled (or has had) filled with patriotic songs.

Somehow I don’t think the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy In The U.K.” is among them.  Hmm, the Princess Diana tribute version of Elton John’s “Candle In The Wind?” Perhaps not.
