Do you know King Charles III get two birthdays? Reason will blow your mind

The UK King can celebrate their birthday not once, but twice a year.

According to CNN, King Charles enjoyed his first real birthday as monarch on November 14.

But, today, for the first time he’s enjoyed an “official” birthday since ascending to the throne.

Britain’s Kings and Queens since the 18th century, holding both a public celebration – the official birthday, and a private event on the real date.

Reason is simple-- No one wants the rain to ruin their parade, so monarchs have scheduled their pomp-filled parties for the summer.

Tradition is believed to have started with the party-mad King George II in 1748.

Like Charles III, George was born in November, when British weather is often far from ideal.

Trooping the Colour – a military parade in London – previously existed as a standalone event.

But, it was re-purposed as a birthday celebration after George III became King in 1760.
