00:00Why Charles Has Two Birthdays King Charles III is one of the only people
00:05in the world who gets two birthdays. Although King Charles III was born on November 14, 1948,
00:12His Majesty also celebrates his birthday in June with the annual Trooping the Colour military
00:17parade. The event is held to mark the occasion of the monarch's official birthday. That official
00:22birthday is the one marked by Trooping the Colour each June. The tradition of ringing in the reigning
00:28monarch's birthday in June began in 1748 with King George II, who was also born in November.
00:35The late King didn't think the cold winter months would be suitable for a public gathering,
00:39so he moved his official birthday celebration to late spring. The celebration was held on the
00:44second Thursday of June until Queen Elizabeth II moved the annual event to Saturday so her
00:49subjects would be able to attend. The exact date changes each year. The royal family's official
00:55Instagram account shared a new photo of King Charles III in honor of his actual birthday.
01:0077 years old today. Thank you for your kind words and good wishes on the occasion of His Majesty's
01:06birthday. The palace captioned a shot of the monarch lounging in the garden at his Sandringham estate.
01:11King Charles III, who is still undergoing cancer treatment, hasn't let his age negatively affect
01:16his sense of humor. During a trip to Midland Metropolitan University Hospital,
01:21the father of two joked with an 85-year-old patient, Jacqueline Page, about wearing out as you get older.
01:29This is the terrible thing, as I'm discovering already. The bits don't work so well after you
01:33get past 70, do they? The monarch said.
