Google Maps celebrates Queen Elizabeth II reign with royal redesign

Google has made a number of subtle tweaks to mark the reign of Queen Elizabeth II

GOOGLE has celebrated Queen Elizabeth II becoming the longest-reigning UK monarch with a subtle royal redesign.

The Californian technology firm has given its iconic PegMan – the small yellow figurine can be picked up and dropped in Google Maps to launch StreetView – a royal makeover.
When scrolling past Buckingham Palace on Google Maps today, the figure will suddenly take on the appearance of Her Royal Majesty.
Google, which recently unveiled a brand-new logo, has nicknamed the playful tribute – PegMa'am.

Find Buckingham Palace on Google Maps, and the iconic PegMan takes on a much more regal appearance

In response, Google has not marked the milestone with its trademark Google Doodle, but simply added a subtle Congratulations Ma'am message to the Google UK homepage.
When clicked, it launches a search for Elizabeth II.
Google last week launched a new trivia-heavy trick with its search engine – which should keep you entertained for hours.
