The Queen has her very own bespoke emoji to mark the Jubilee and it's SO cute

The Queen has released her very own emoji on Twitter in honour of her Platinum Jubilee and it's utterly adorable. 

• The Queen's special Jubilee emoji is a corgi pictured with his tongue hanging out, sporting a purple crown.
• During her reign, the Queen's corgis (opens in new tab) have been special to her, with the monarch having had more than 30, the majority of which have been descendants of Susan, her first corgi.
• This royal news (opens in new tab) comes after, Kate Middleton oozes ‘elegance’ as she co-ordinates her garden party outfit with a very practical accessory (opens in new tab).

The royal family has announced the release of a special corgi emoji on Twitter to mark the Queen's momentous Platinum Jubilee festivities, which begin next week.

Anyone who tweets the hashtags #PlatinumJubilee, #HM70, #PlatinumPartyatthePalace, #PlatinumJubileePageant, or #TheBigJubileeLunch will see the Queen's Jubilee emoji, which is named 'PJ'.

During her reign, the Queen has had around 30 corgis, the majority of which are descended from Susan, her first corgi, who was given to her on her 18th birthday in 1944.

The official royal family Twitter account announced the new feature on Thursday, saying, "We're hoping that as many of you as possible will use PJ to help celebrate the Jubilee here on Twitter".

The sweet social media tribute comes as the country gears up to celebrate the Jubilee on the June bank holiday (opens in new tab) in honour of the Queen's 70 years as monarch.

In February, the Queen became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since her accession to the throne.

This historic milestone will be commemorated throughout the long weekend with a variety of events across the country, including community activities and national reflections on the monarch's decades of service.
