Another popular move by the monarchy which is counting its final days. Obvious move on behalf of Google. Similar to when Diana visited SONY manufacturing unit.
Gaurav Sharma, Dwarahat, India
Google didn't put up the royal doodle to celebrate the UK.
They put it up to celebrate the queen's visit to their offices. Standard PR move.

Why does Google suddenly think that we all adore the royal family/moanrchy? It's horrific to think that such a large multinational, therefore probably many foreigners, think that a feudal and undemocratic leftover exemplifies our nation. I'm using Yahoo from now on.
James P, Oxford, Great Britain
I love it, the Queen rocks.
