James, the Royal Family cost us something daft like 70p each per year, which I think is a bit of a bargin. Think how much politicians can claim in allowances etc and think how much a president or republic would cost us instead. Plus the Queen is an excellent diplomat as she was brought up to do it.

I imagine the tech-savvy prince had done his homework in advance...!

Why oh why do young people consider anyone over 60 is gaga when many in reality are more comparable to 40-year olds?

At 82 the Queen is a prime example of this. I defy anyone to keep up with her when they are her age themselves!

Roz of Barnsley is right - a very patronising article.

Annie , Bath, UK

It's great to hear such a resounding royalist voice. I normally feel quite a minority for voicing my support for the Monachy. Thank you all for making me feel normal.

I'm a loyal member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces. We vow to defend her honour, her position and undertake to kick down doors in order to deliver the 'good news' to her foes worldwide.

God save The Queen!!

Does one really have to be so patronizing about 80+ being computer literate? Many know more about computers than the idiots who run Google, Yahoo, et al.

High time Google Earth moved itself into the twenty first century with their graphics, especially Darfield.

They reversed their stance on gambling adverts in the UK in keeping with "local business practices". Their London offices must be too close to the stock exchange!

Chris, Glasgow,

The monarch is central to who we are & any attempt to remove would lead to a second civil war.
And it's more than just about how much revenue the current monarch brings into the UK through tourism.
It's about our national identity and dignity that a President Blair could never emulate.

I think some of you have forgotten your history. Great Britain was at one stage a Republic. Instead of a monarch we had a Protector called Oliver Cromwell. And when Cromwell died we decided to go back to being a Monarchy and Charles II became our king. Why go back to those times again.

Judging by the accompanying photo she had just been googled!!

Yes Mohammed BUT type in THE QUEEN and it is different... As the Queen is always referred to as such.
And a Republic is a waste of time, being a Monarchy is what makes us special - and increases tourism to London, the Queen brings in more than she takes out!

Who'd you fancy as your head of state James Dyson?, Ken? ,Boris?,Gordon? ,David?oh, Nick, he's in a party apparently,James Dyson? Read a history book and then think about it.

I'm not British, but I don't believe that getting rid of The Queen would really help saving money.The savings from your taxes would have to be directly injected into the creatin of a new political system. Besides, I think Britain's more urgent matters to deal with at the moment. And we love her hats.

It is Google bringing publicity to the Queen, not vice versa!

Giacecco, Berkhamsted,

Is it appropriate for the Queen to be bringing so much publicity to a company (and not even from a Commonwealth country) like this?

M A, Nottingham,

She's certainly preferable to the republican alternative (America? No thanks).

Long may she reign over us.

Ian, London, ENGLAND

Great Britain, republic?
Not in your lifetime - not ever!

Nick, London,

She is, of course, The Queen, rather than Queen.

Jamie, London,

Get rid of the Monarch? Are you CRAZY!!! - Do you not know how many people come to our country just to say they've been to Buckingham Palace?? - Do you know how much money those people spend in our country??

The Monarch is Important and should ALWAYS be a part of Britain.

Bob, Harrow,

I still can't believe we still pay for this organisation.

The queen should be our final monarch, then its time for change.

republic.

James Dyson, London,

If you search "Queen" in google, a rock band by that name is the first hit. Google search has no respect for her majesty :-)
