A joint initiative between Buckingham Palace and Clarence House, the British Monarchy Twitter account will provide followers with regular updates informing them of the work of the Royal Family.
Each day, the following day’s Royal engagements and ceremonies will appear and links to new Royal Pictures, announcements, news and updates will be made available.
Regular information on events and ceremonies will be published, as will links to the latest films uploaded to The Royal Channel on YouTube: www.twitter.com/BritishMonarchy
The Prince’s Charities will also launch their Twitter feed today, www.twitter.com/powcharities. The Prince’s Charities is a group of not-for-profit organisations of which The Prince of Wales is President: 18 of the 20 charities were founded personally by The Prince.
The Prince’s Charities Twitter feed will work alongside The Prince’s Charities Community website, http://princescharities.org, to provide an up-to-date source of information featuring the latest news, events and volunteering opportunities from the charities.
