Since no one else will say it I will. God is speaking in the counsels of the Godhead the Trinity. God the Father is speaking with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Elohim refers to the plurality of God (the three in one) Adonai is not plural. The "royal we" is a weak excuse to try and explain away the truth of God's Word. It is not God speaking to the angels we are not made in the image of angels but in the image of God. It is not God speaking to Michael as Michael is an angel and not the only begotten Son. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.

The first word for God in the Bible is Elohim. It is a plural,
meaning more than one. I feel the God that we don't understand
in the Old Testament was the Powers and Principalities.
Most think these are evil, because it says we are at war with
them. But that is just an expression the Bible uses to show that
there is a government in the spirit world.
This is a paradox. The Elohim, Powers and Principalites, are
doing Gods will in a sense, because God lets them be in power.
But they make decisions and take actions themselves. So
it's not like God gives orders about everything.
It says in Scripture that God will punish the hosts of heaven.
So not everything the Powers and Principalities do is
righteous in Gods eyes.

The Creator also called GOD by most Christian religions knows duality and often refers to its self in the plural. Just as the Jewish religion calls their LORD GOD both Yahweh and Jehovah.

G-d frequently refers to himself in the plural, and jews frequently refer to G-d in the plural. sort of like the "royal we".
ie, we call G-d often "Adonai." this means "my lords." and G-d is also called Elohim which means "G-ds".
nevertheless, we do still generally believe this passage is not using the royal we, but rather it is referring to G-d and the angels.
here is a source:
http://www.askmoses.com/article.html?h=238&o=2524
EDIT:
no, we weren't created by both G-d and the angels. if you read the article it says that in the original hebrew, G-d says "let us make man" but when he actually does it, the hebrew reads "G-d created man" in the singular. to emphasize that G-d ONLY created man and make sure there was no confusion.
PastorJ has one thing right. Adonai is not plural. i just went and looked that up. my bad.

us is used in semitic languages, including arabic as a royal "we". As JewishGirl stated.
This is also the case in the quran. which is staunchely against the trinity.
