the queen

[choc1]

why does the queen have two birthdays

[B00]

Oooo oooo I know this one!!!

They explained it on This Morning....apparently it all began when one of the kings (George??) had a birthday in winter and the weather was too grotty for a walk about, so they decided to have a 2nd celebration in warmer weather, so that we peasants can bestow our love on them in the great outdoors.....ahhh bless 'em!

when i used to ask my mother this question she always told me not to be jealous as it was my birthday every day of the year (think she was implying that i was spoilt rotten!)

The Queen has abirthday on the day she was born,and another on the day she became Queen.

If the Queen wanted a birthday every month, I am sure she would be allowed to. I think every day is a birthday for her, but surely it's time to put her feet up? Who should reign next .. Charles or Wills ... ??

does that mean shes really only 40

Boo in the first message is correct.
