Queen Elizabeth’s 1957 Christmas message launches ‘Royal Channel’ at YouTube

Here’s a real kick for those of us who keep up somewhat with the royal crowd in England: Queen Elizabeth II and the British royalty have launched the Royal Channel on YouTube.

I’m a historian at heart — I actually finished all the course work for an M.A. in history but never did the comprehensive exams and seminar paper requirements. So I really love the idea of getting access to some historic videos.

But I’m NOT a “royals watcher” caught up in the tabloid mentality that keeps resurrecting Princess Diana’s death weekly for 10 years. I think much of the gossip mentality that shadows the British throne and everyone related to it is downright depressing.

But a “Royal Channel” on YouTube seems like it could be fun and fascinating. Go take a look for yourself.
