Double Birthday
Another amusing fact about the Queen is that not only was she blessed enough to be born into the prestigious royal family, it’s also that she has two birthdays! For all you young people reading this, yes, that means double the cake and double the gifts, how lucky was she right?
Elizabeth was born on April 21st, 1926, but when you become an official monarch, that date gets its own type of birthday celebration. That larger celebration is marked by a parade and military procession, a very old tradition that’s been around for hundreds of years. So not only double cakes, but entire nations coming out to celebrate twice a year just for you, imagine that.
