Why does Queen Elizabeth II have two birthdays?

Elizabeth II is the current Queen of the United Kingdom. She was born on April 21, 1926, and is now 93 years old. He ascended the throne in 1952 and was crowned in 1953. She has reigned for 67 years, making her the longest-reigning queen in British history. Ranked 29th among the 100 most influential women in the world published by Forbes in 2016. Queen Elizabeth II has many legendary things, and she has two birthdays every year. Why is this? Could it be that the Queen is willful?

The real situation is that Elizabeth II, like other British kings, celebrates two birthdays every year. One is her real birthday on April 21st. This birthday is basically a private birthday in London. Gun salutes will be fired at Tower Bridge and Hyde Park, and the royal family will celebrate birthdays privately and have meals at home, with no major events. The second time is her more official birthday. This birthday will be celebrated nationwide and there will be a military parade. There is no fixed date for this birthday, it is only in June. The specific day depends on the weather conditions.

This tradition originated from King George II of England in 1748. His birthday was in November, which was very cold. In order to prevent the people of the country from freezing, he combined his birthday with the Royal Army. The military parade ceremony was put together. This tradition was later formalized when King Edward's birthday also fell in November.

Elizabeth II’s birthday in April is still a bit cold and not suitable for parades in the streets to celebrate, so she needs to celebrate another birthday in June. Elizabeth II is the world's longest-reigning monarch and is deeply loved by the British for her affability. Now that she is old, she is slowly retiring and leaving many of her official duties to other younger royals.
