The behind-the-scenes footage of the 94-year-old queen interacting with Princess Anne was released ahead of a new ITV documentary about the princess titled, \"Anne: The Princess Royal at 70.\"

The royal family has been working from home during the coronavirus pandemic, following the United Kingdom's stay-at-home orders.

Prince Charles, Prince William and Duchess Kate have also used video calls to carry on their charitable work during the pandemic.

The queen's use of the technology shows once again that she is adept at keeping up with the times.

The queen made headlines last year when she personally published her first Instagram post while on a visit to London's Science Museum. She sent her first tweet during a visit to the Science Museum in 2014 and sent her first email decades earlier, in 1976, according to Buckingham Palace.
