Princess Anne teaches the Queen how to use Zoom
The Queen has been taught to Zoom for the first time by her 70-year-old daughter Princess Anne.
The 94-year-old Monarch dialled into her first official video call last month to mark National Carers Week.
Like many families during lockdown, The Queen and her children are no exception when it comes to using technology to communicate.

"It’s Tom here," a voice says: "I’m just going to introduce Her Majesty The Queen."
Princess Anne can then be heard asking her mum: "Ah, good morning? Windsor?"
Then the Queen comes on screen, elegantly dressed in a pale floral dress and pearls.
‘Good morning. I’m very glad to have been able to join you," Elizabeth II says.

Princess Anne quickly checks to see if everything is alright on her mother's end: "Can you see everybody? You should have six people on your screen."
The Queen then replies saying she can only see four people, and Anne retorts: "Actually you don’t need me you know what I look like!"
The call took place on June 4 and saw The Queen and Princess Anne speak to four carers to discuss the difficulty they have faced throughout the pandemic.
One of the carers, Alexandra Atkins, 24, from Swansea said it was surreal to be speaking to the Royals on Zoom.
"To have them both talking face to face to us, was just unreal. It hit me that I was sitting in my bedroom talking to the Princess Royal and the Queen."
