The Queen admits to playing Wii games
As the Nintendo Wii grips Britain with its innovative motion-sensing controller, the latest person to admit playing on the system is the Queen.

According to The People, Wii console-owner Prince William is finding it difficult to use the Wii as the Queen is apparently "hooked" on using his machine.

A source from Sandringham is quoted as saying: "When she saw William playing a game after lunch she thought the Nintendo looked tremendous fun and begged to join in. She played a simple ten-pin bowling game and by all accounts was a natural.

"It was hilarious. William was in fits of laughter.

"He was enormously impressed at having such a cool gran. His only difficulty now is prising it away from the Queen's clutches. She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict."

The Queen is already said to be something of a technical whizz, with reports that she owns a BlackBerry, an iPod and a number of mobile phones.
