Her majesty the queen

Great Britain does not have a president, but a queen.

Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April, 1926, in the beautiful city of London. Her birthday is officially celebrated in Britain on the second Saturday of June each year. The day is referred to as 'the Trooping of the Colour', but the official name is 'the Queen's Birthday Parade'. It is a huge celebration.

Queen Elizabeth is a constitutional monarchy. That means that although she is officially the head of state, the country is actually run by the government, led by the Prime Minister.

The Queen lives at Buckingham Palace in London. Her Majesty The Queen's title in the United Kingdom is 'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Nothern Ireland'.
