When Is the Queen's Birthday?

Well, it's not in June although New Zealand has its Queen's Birthday holiday on June 1 this year and Australia (except for the state of Western Australia) has it on June 8.

This year, the Queen's Birthday holiday in Western Australia is on September 28.

But the Queen — Elizabeth II, Queen of England and of Australia and New Zealand — wasn't born in September either.

The Queen, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary of the House of Windsor, was born on April 21, 1926.
