Elizabeth II bought a 5percent stake in the Millennium Mapping Company —which is creating a huge aerial photo of the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth's investment in the company is seen as a show of support for the project and for the use of technology to document the country's landscape. The investment also highlights the Queen's interest in technology and innovation, as well as her role as a patron of the arts and sciences.
