A BIRTHDAY FIT FOR A QUEEN

April 21st, 2009

Today is the 83rd birthday of the Queen of England, so on this occasion we just wanted to say: Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth II! Below are a few fun facts about the Queen:

1. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom actually has two birthdays; the first is her real birth date, 21 April, but it is officially celebrated on the second Saturday of June.
2. Despite what you may think, the queen does not have a bedroom made of gold!
3. Rigby & Peller are the official corseteres of her majesty.
4. The Queen is an amateur photographer and enjoys taking pictures of her family.
5. She has sat for over 140 official portraits during her reign, and sat for her only hologram portrait in 2003.
6. According to a statute from 1324, which still stands today, the Queen owns all the sturgeons, swans, whales and dolphins in the waters around the UK. In fact if you kill a swan you will suffer jail time as did Shamsu Miah.
