93 facts about The Queen as she celebrates her birthday
A couple of my favourites:
*The Queen’s birthplace, formerly a house in Mayfair, is now a Michelin star Cantonese restaurant called Hakkasan.
*The Queen used to own two sloths after being gifted them during a state visit to Brazil in 1968.
*Every morning, Her Majesty is presented with breakfast which is made up of cornflakes and porridge oats in Tupperware containers, yoghurt and two varieties of marmalade.93 facts about The Queen as she celebrates her birthday
*...to finish the day off, she will relax with a glass of champagne in the evening. By the UK government’s standards, this would officially make Her Majesty a binge drinker, having consumed six units of alcohol per day.
*The Queen purposely wears bright colours so members of the public can easily spot her in a crowd.
*When she toured Australia in 1953, it was estimated that around three-quarters of the population got to see her.
*In 2000, she sent her mother, Queen Elizabeth, a telegram to mark her 100th birthday.
*According to her grandsons – Prince William and Prince Harry – The Queen turned to hysterics during one Christmas Dinner after her 100 year old mother did an Ali G impression at the table, mimicking the fictional character after spotting him on the television.
