Young royals, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are doing their best to become more social media savvy.
The couple signed up to Twitter on Wednesday morning with the @KensingtonRoyal handle already accumulating over 88K followers. The account bio describes it as: "Updates, pictures and videos from Kensington
Palace, about The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and their Royal Foundation."
Not long after, they took the next step. Kensington Palace - home to William, Kate and their son Prince George, as well as the popular Prince Harry - officially signed up for photo sharing app Instagram.
Two picture posts have already attracted over 60K followers - with not much to see just yet.
These aren't the first royal accounts on the web. The @BritishMonarchy Twitter account has been around since 2009, sending out news and updates from Buckingham Palace on behalf of the royal family. The account @ClarenceHouse appeared in 2010 and sends out news on Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
