As the world anticipates the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Britannica marks the 85th birthday of Britain’s reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Although today is the queen’s actual birthday, it should not be confused with her “official” birthday, which is customarily celebrated on a Saturday in June (when the weather is better). The sovereign’s official birthday is marked by Trooping the Colour, a military parade through the Saint James neighbourhood.
