  1. The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London.

    The Sovereign's birthday is officially celebrated by the ceremony of Trooping the Colour on a Saturday in June.It's always been a tradition(at least since the early 18th century) for the Sovereign to have an official celebration during the summer months when the weather was expected to be good.


  2. April 21 1926

  3. Yesterday.

  4. Today is Her Majesty the Queen's actual birthday. She was born on April 21st, 1926, however it has long been customary to celebrate the sovereign’s birthday publicly on a day during the summer, when better weather is more likely. Since 1805, the sovereign’s ‘official’ birthday has been marked by the Trooping the Colour ceremony, normally held on the second Saturday in June.

    The Queen's Official Birthday (sometimes known as "the Queen's Birthday") is celebrated as a public holiday in several Commonwealth countries as with royal traditions. In the United Kingdom, the Queen's Official Birthday is now celebrated on the first, second, or third Saturday in June, and is marked in London by the ceremony of Trooping the Colour, which is also known as the Queen's Birthday Parade. So basically, she will have two birthdays in one year.

    Although today is the Queen's birthday, it will be celebrated quietly among close family and friends. Queen Elizabeth II marked her 82nd birthday at home in Windsor Castle. The occasion has been celebrated with a 41-gun salute at Hyde Park in London today. Far away from the fanfare, it's believed her Majesty's planning to enjoy a quiet dinner at Windsor Castle.
