The Queen has a history of embracing technology, in 1953 she allowed television cameras inside Westminster Abbey during a state occasion for her Coronation and in 1976 she became the first monarch to send an email during a visit to an army base.
Google European president Nikesh Arora headed up a group of 50 staff and senior management in a meet and greet with the Queen, as seen here.
The tour immersed the Royals in all things Google, with a demonstration of the ubiquitous search engine, a tour of Google Earth and a talk on Google advertising and its contribution to UK industry.
The London office includes Google's global mobile engineering centre, as well as handling product management, marketing, people operations, legal, communications, sales and finance.

Apparently Prince Philip had the last laugh:
While being shown Buckingham Palace on Google Earth, he teasingly asked to see Google's London HQ...
... Which isn't shown on Google Earth. (Hint: It's too new.)
