| Description |
The images above are of a 1943 telegram copy wishing the then Princess Elizabeth a happy birthday, and her reply. The birthday of Queen Elizabeth II is celebrated annually in New Zealand on the first Monday of June. This is despite the fact that Elizabeth was born on 21 April, 1926. Under the Sovereign’s Birthday Observance Act 1937 the birthday of Elizabeth’s father, King George was observed also in June even though he was born in December. Previous royal birthdays were celebrated on their actual birth date. Queen’s Birthday, a Monday, is considered a public holiday and for most working people results in a 3-day weekend. For many this also marks the beginning of winter as the next public holiday, Labour Weekend, does not occur until October.
