Her Royal Highness is reportedly hooked on William’s new Nintendo console
The People reports that Prince William is struggling to find time to play the Wii he received for Christmas recently – as his grandmother, who is the Queen incidentally, is apparently “hooked” on the machine.
The paper quotes a Sandringham source as saying: "When she saw William playing a game after lunch she thought the Nintendo looked tremendous fun and begged to join in. She played a simple ten-pin bowling game and by all accounts was a natural.
"It was hilarious. William was in fits of laughter. He was enormously impressed at having such a cool gran. His only difficulty now is prising it away from the Queen's clutches. She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict."
The paper explains that the Queen is apparently somewhat of a technical whiz, owning a BlackBerry, iPod and a number of flash mobile phones. We only wish we’d been there to see her excitement when the news broke of Sony’s recent PS3 update that saw its Blu-Ray player upgraded to Profile 1.1 and DivX and wmv support added – imagine her joy.

Re: Yeah right?!

Re: Yeah right?!
Great PR for Nintendo, Apple BB AND the Palace, though, isn't it?
Re: Yeah right?!
er...?!
Yeah, if you want your products to suddenly become really un-cool........
Re: Yeah right?!
I'm so glad you are concerned about being cool.
...Who cares?
Re: Yeah right?!
So why don't they buy a second ******* wii - they've got the bloody money.
Re: Yeah right?!
In response to comment 5.
I'm not concerned with being cool, the companies are because if their products arent cool, then they're not desirable, if they're not desirable, then nobody will want them, if nobody wants them, then nobody will buy them.
Need I go on?
When I said 'your' I meant the companies in question: Nintendo, Apple etc.
Re: Yeah right?!
What is the problem? nintendo wii can be fun. She is only human and a very nice person who can have fun just the same as you. Good on her, and i would be proud if she was my grandma. Life is too short and to be in her position and in the public eye all the time at the age of 81. You should be proud to have her as your queen.
