Don't go looking to add her as a friend, though!

The latest royal celebrity to join Facebook is British Queen Elizabeth.

The Queen has joined the Facebook generation with the launch of a British Monarchy page on the popular social networking site, reports the BBC.

According to a Buckingham Palace statement, the British Monarchy page is not a personal profile page, but a visitor can 'like' the service and receive updates on their news feed.

The royal page will feature the Court Circular -- the record of the previous day's official engagements. This will also include engagements and activities of the Royal family.

The Queen, who now has embraced the Internet, was said to have been sending e-mails to her grandchildren.

The launch of the Facebook page follows the introduction of the Monarchy's Flickr account earlier this year.

It also joined Twitter in 2009 and established a Royal Channel on YouTube in 2007.
