The Queen praised two computing trailblazers using a tablet at London’s Science Museum.

Queen Elizabeth II celebrated two computing trailblazers Thursday in her first ever Instagram post. Sent from a tablet at London’s Science Museum, the post features a letter from Victorian computer pioneer and polymath Charles Babbage.

In her own writings, Lovelace noted that devices like the Analytical Engine had possible applications far beyond crunching numbers. This isn’t the first time the Queen has praised the Science Museum on social media. Back in 2014 she launched the museum’s “Information Age” exhibition in her first ever tweet, as the BBC reported at the time.

I'm guessing her and Charles Babbage were classmates.
