It was said that Queen Elizabeth II was not fond of selfies. The late monarch had quite a few unofficial royal rules, and posing for a cellphone pic with fans was a major faux pas in her eyes. She once confided in U.S. Ambassador Matthew Barzun, who said in a Tatler Magazine interview, "She was essentially saying, 'I miss eye contact'" (via BBC ). Even King Charles III expressed his own disdain for new technology. "He wants to meet people, and it irritates him getting camera phones shoved in his face," John Bridcut, director of "Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70," told Vanity Fair . But not all royals feel the same. Catherine, Princess of Wales, has broken the royal rules , embracing the digital age by not shying away from selfies with royal watchers.
