The Queen’s caption reads: “Today, as I visit the Science Museum I was interested to discover a letter from the Royal Archives, written in 1843 to my great-great-grandfather Prince Albert. Charles Babbage, credited as the world\u2019s first computer pioneer, designed the ‘Difference Engine’, of which Prince Albert had the opportunity to see a prototype in July 1843.<\/em>
\n In the letter, Babbage told Queen Victoria and Prince Albert about his invention the ‘Analytical Engine’ upon which the first computer programmes were created by Ada Lovelace, a daughter of Lord Byron.<\/em>
\n Today, I had the pleasure of learning about children\u2019s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And she signed the post “Elizabeth R.”<\/p>\n

The royal family’s account also shared video of the historic moment:<\/p>\n
