Fun Facts

1. The Queen has two Birthdays! The Queen’s real birthday  was the 21st of April and she usually spent it with her family.

Her “official” (not actual) birthday  was in June. This is because the monarch’s birthday is marked by a parade known as "Trooping the Colour" and Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910, decided it wouldn’t be very fun to celebrate this in November (when his birthday was) because it was cold, so he moved his own birthday to June.

2. The Royal Family isn’t allowed to sign autographs

3. King Charles doesn’t squeeze his own toothpaste.

4. Princess Diana’s wedding dress contained over 10,000 pearls

5. The Queen/King doesn’t need a passport to travel abroad

6. The Queen invented a breed of dog
