Queen’s Birthday Celebration June 14 on Cayman Islands
The Queen’s Birthday is a public holiday in Cayman Islands, celebrated this year June 14.
HRH Queen Elizabeth II is not only the Queen of the UK but also the Head of the Commonwealth and is thus the Head of State in many other nations, including Cayman Islands, nearly all of whom celebrate her status in some form or other.
One of the ways is to celebrate her birthday, either on the date of her birth, or through an “official birthday.”
HRH Queen Elizabeth II was actually born on April 21, 1926, in London, the daughter of Prince Albert, Duke of York and The Duchess of York, the former Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Her father became King George VI in December 1936 upon the abdication of his elder brother, King Edward VIII.
Queen Elizabeth II succeeded to the throne on the death of her father on February 6, 1952 and is the fourth-longest reigning living Monarch in the world.
