Unlike ordinary people, Queen Elizabeth II has two birthdays, the celebrations of which will both be canceled due to Covid-19.

Wait a minute, 2 birthdays?

The real birthday of the queen is April 21, which means that today she celebrates her 94th birthday. But she is celebrating another birthday on the second Saturday in June, a tradition that has continued since she ascended the throne.

The reason behind the double birthday is very simple - not to celebrate the birthday in rainy weather.

The tradition began with King George II in 1748. He had his birthday in November, a time when the British weather is cloudy and rainy, and since then, the Trooping and Color Ceremony (a tradition of British and Commonwealth regiments) -it) is also celebrated as the monarch's second birthday.
