To celebrate the queen’s special day, the Royal Family posted a video composed of slideshows with images depicting the queen as she evolved over the years from a baby to her present day.

The slideshow captured monumental times of the Queen’s life, from her birth to her time growing up, wedding ceremony, family photographs as well as images from many of her public appearances over the years. The slideshow also explained why the Queen has two birthdays, her actual birthday and her official birthday.

It explained that the Queen was born on the 21st of April, 1926, and that is celebrated privately, while her official birthday comes on the second Saturday of June, and is celebrated publicly.

The tradition of the British Monarchs having two birthdays started with King George II in 1748 when he enabled it so that he could celebrate his birthday during the Summer.

Members of the Royal Family also posted congratulatory tributes to the Queen on Instagram. A notable post was from The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who posted on their joint page, wishing the Queen a wonderful celebration.

In spite of her age, the Queen is carrying on with full vigor and continues to perform her functions as steadily as ever. The Public will wait eagerly for June when they celebrate Her Majesty’s special day officially.
