Huffington Post     First Posted: 7/7/10   Updated: 5/25/11

Queen Elizabeth II--allegedly a "CrackBerry" addict--was presented with a "royal BlackBerry" during her July 5 tour of Research In Motion's Canadian headquarters in Ontario.

According to the AFP, RIM's co-founder "presented queen with the most current model, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, personalized with an image of area school children offering her flowers."

Later that same day, Queen Elizabeth tried out 3D glasses during a visit to Pinewood Studios, where she caught a glimpse of a 3D film by Deepa Mehta.

The Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, were on an eight-day tour of Canada.
