Like today 96 years ago, Elizabeth-Alexandra-Maria was born, Queen Elizabeth of England.
Yesterday morning she traveled by helicopter from Windsor Castle, which is now her main residence, to her estate in Sandringham in the east of England to spend a short vacation. The information says that he will stay in Wood Farm and not in the main apartments of the estate. Wood Fam is a relatively small residence for the royal data, to which Prince Philip had moved permanently in August 2017, when he retired. He said that he had a particular weakness in this house, especially because "the sea is very close".
Ahead of The Queen's 96th Birthday tomorrow, @windsorhorse have released a new photograph of Her Majesty.

This is the second year that Queen Elizabeth will celebrate her birthday without her husband, who passed away on April 9, 2021 at the age of 99. Many argue that the choice of this location is not at all random as, until the pandemic, she was there with her husband. This view is reinforced by the fact that Queen Elizabeth now has mobility problems and for this reason has recently canceled many of her public appearances.
Officially, Buckingham Palace is not planning any kind of public celebration. After all, every year the queen celebrates her birthday twice - once on the day she was born and once in June. Traditionally, he spends the first one in a close family circle. So it will be now. It is expected to be visited by members of the royal family and some friends these days. However, its second celebration is more majestic, with the participation of the citizens.
In fact, this year, which also celebrates the Platinum Jubilee, as it has completed 70 years on the British throne, four-day events have been planned throughout the country. From 2 to 5 June, the UK will be hosting an ongoing party with shows, art events, tech shows, etc. The British government has promised a "one-time-every-generation" celebration.
After all, this is the first time a British monarch has celebrated the Platinum Jubilee and this is not the only record that Queen Elizabeth has broken.
