THE MISSING LINK SMS fit for queens as well as teens Queen Elizabeth II, known more for her dowdy handbags and crown jewels than her techie gadgets, evidently loves to send text messages over the royal cell phone. How do we know this? When England won the world rugby championship, Her Majesty got out her phone (probably from one of those heinous handbags) and sent grandson Harry a text. Harry, who hangs out with all those "scrumbags" and was celebrating with them after they beat Australia for the crown, told the team the text was from his "nan" and that they were all invited to Buckingham Palace for tea to celebrate their victory. Now that's one modern monarch. (AFP)   Contact Us   SITE EDITOR Mark Brunelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send me your original articles, best practices and feedback.
