Already on Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, Britain's royal family now has a presence on Facebook. Launching this morning, Facebook.com/TheBritishMonarchy has videos, photos and the Court Circular, the 200-year-old authoritative record of engagements also on Buckingham Palace's website. The royal Facebook does not have a personal profile, so users cannot ask the royals to be their Facebook "friend"; instead they can click to "like" the page. Several unofficial pages already exist on Facebook; one, the professional-looking The-British-Monarchy page, is "liked" by more than 20,000 people.
