Fun Facts
1. The Queen has two Birthdays! The Queen’s real birthday is the 21st of April and she usually spends it with her family.
Her “official” (not actual) birthday is 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 is 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. Prince Charles doesn’t squeeze his own toothpaste.

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

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

6. The Queen invented a breed of dog
