The Royal Collection Trust, the charity which manages the historic building, takes users on a virtual tour of Buckingham Palace from anywhere in the world, simply by using their smart phone.
And while the Queen hasn't had the chance to try out the experience for herself, it is understood that she is aware of the project and has given it her seal of approval.
The Buckingham Palace Expedition contains material shot at the residence just last week, using 16 'Google jump cameras' on a circular tripod, each taking a different picture shot at the same time.
These have been knitted together to make one seamless piece of panoramic footage which will allow anyone viewing it to experience the scene in every direction, as if they were in the room themselves.
Users will be taken on a guided tour of seven State Rooms, starting with the Grand Entrance before the tour then moves through to the Green Drawing Room, (bottom right) the Throne Room, (top right) the Picture Gallery (bottom left) and then the Ballroom (centre) - where state banquets are held - before finally concluding in The White Drawing Room, (top left) where a secret door leads to the Queen's private apartments.
